Review: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

5 stars for Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. 5 HUGE stars!

Me Before You is a entrancing love story that brings to life two people who could not have less in common -- a heartbreakingly touching romantic novel that asks, what do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

Jojo Moves has my admiration for taking on a very sensitive subject and proceeding to spin a tale objectively in a lifelike setup. In my opinion, Jojo Moyes sets for herself an extremely challenging task in the days ahead, because I keep thinking, how is she going to be able to write another story that can excel Me Before You?

Reading this beautifully written novel invokes a lot of thoughts, feelings and emotions. It is so engaging that I have difficulty putting the book down. It now owns a piece of my heart, and as with many of the best books I have read, I know that this story and the characters will stay with me for a long time to come.

Last but not least, try not to read the last few chapters out of home, and keep a box of tissue papers within reach. It is a tearjerker indeed.

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

What Lou doesn’t know is she’s about to lose her job or that knowing what’s coming is what keeps her sane.

Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he’s going to put a stop to that.

What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time.
