Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
Summary
After Louisa Clark loses her job as a waitress
during a British recession, she accepts a temporary position as a caregiver to
Will Traynor, a quadriplegic. Since Will
already has a nurse, it is Louisa’s job to entertain and be a companion to
Will. Louisa is chatty and quirky and
Will is bitter and depressed. Will used
to ski, rock climb, and bungee jump, and continually sought out the next
adrenalin rush. Now he is bound to a
wheelchair and suicidal. Louisa’s
contract will last six months after which time Will has a decision to
make: he will either find the will to
live or he will go to an assisted dying organization in Switzerland. The two eventually develop feelings for each
other and Louisa desperately tries to find reasons for Will to want to live,
mainly the love they have for each other.
The author’s character development is excellent, sometimes you hate or
love or just laugh at their antics. We
highly recommend this novel, and don’t forget the tissues.
