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?

Loved this book!

I haven’t stopped to write a review in the last 10-11 books I’ve read. But I knew halfway through that this book was different. I really enjoyed the characters and the development of the story so much! So glad this was recommended to me by Audible. You guys know me pretty well!

What a wonderful book. A MUST for your library!

This book was very well written! I could not stop listening to it. I will not post any spoilers. I will say this - IT IS A MUST READ/LISTEN! You won’t regret it. The Narrators did a wonderful job. First audible I listened to and enjoyed the narrators voices.

Not easy

A relevant and controversial topic discussed as a romance with humor, love, and tenderness.
It made me laugh aloud and then shed tears. it's neither pro nor con the issue.

I loved it!

I've seen the movie at least 20 times, as it is one of my favorite love stories. I wanted to see how closely the movie followed the book, and it was spot on. And yes, I cried just like I always do when watching the movie! ❣

It was incredible!

If you watched the movie first and are wondering if you should read the book, the answer is YES. At times, it felt like a different story. There was SO much more character development and memorable moments that weren't in the movie. The film also couldn't fully capture all that is Louisa Clark. The book has so much depth and heartache you can't feel from a film. I laughed, cried, and many times rolled my eyes at William Trainer. Not only is the writing phenomenal, the narration is perfect. BUY THIS NOW!

Captivating

I love Moyes' writing. She captivates you, shares important life lessons/thinking points, and elevates your reading experience with rich lauguage.

A different kind of love story

I liked it very much. I thought it might be happy but it wasn't. All the characters were well developed whether you liked them or not.
