Publisher's summary

Discover the love story that captured over 20 million hearts in Me Before You, After You, and Still Me.

They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose...

Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life - steady boyfriend, close family - who has never been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life - big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel - and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.

Will is acerbic, moody, bossy - but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.

A Love Story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common - a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

a modern romeo and juliet

Jeezus this is a good book. The characters are really camptivating and the dialouge powerful and witty, this is not one of those one dimenstional chick flick romances, but rather true literature, with characters that seem to live on past the page

Wonderfully told

I would say this is worth the read.
I feel like this is a journey that I myself have never traveled and I am wondering if I could.

Absolutely stunning and deeply personable

The story as very compelling and characters while predictable were also lovable. This book made situations that we read about or briefly imagine really come to life. The actors was great but my husband, an Englishman, pointed out that the narrator's voice was too posh when playing the main character since a girl that poor wouldn't have spoken like she did. Oh the English and their accent caste system. But apart from that mundane aside, I truly cried listening to this story. It touched upon how we all can do more with our lives and how much we can change other lives. I will be forever changed and inspired by this book to do all that I can with the gift of life.

Best Audio Book

Loved the story! Loved the narration! My attention was held the entire time! It is rare for me to be entranced in the story and lived that the story line was always exciting! I have purchased two more books from same author just because i loved this so much, and it is a major plus the movie will be released soon!

outstanding book!

I was a little skeptical about it, but once I started listening I couldn't stop. I loved it and will be definitely reading "me after you".
