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 barely 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.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, extraordinary.
This book broke my heart into a million pieces, and now that I've read it, I understand why it's so popular. Although there is romance, Me Before You is much more than that. It's not the kind of romantic book I was expecting. This is the book I wish I had read sooner; it had me reading for hours while ignoring all my text messages. I could not get enough of Louisa and Will's story. Me Before You is a story I couldn't stop talking about with friends who have read it and recommend it to friends who haven't. I can't remember the last time I cried as much as I did when reading this book. I felt all the characters' feelings, particularly Louisa and Will.
This story was real. This story completely blew me away and kept me on the edge of my seat till the end. The relationship between Louisa and Will was realistic; they didn’t fall in love at first sight. Initially, I was unsure if Louisa would survive the six months, and I think she might have given up if it weren't for her sister. Throughout the novel, I enjoyed seeing their friendship grow, and I believe I noticed that she had fallen for Will before Louisa did. I didn't like Will at the beginning of the book and thought he would make those six months miserable for her, but he surprised me. I found myself hoping and praying that she would find a way to change his mind.
The plot begins slowly, but it quickly picks up. Afterward, I didn't want to stop. At the same time, I was concerned about the end because I had no idea how it would end, and part of me was terrified of how it would end. Me Before You will make you cry but also make you laugh and smile. There were quite a few times where scenes between Will and Louisa where I couldn’t stop smiling. This novel has some of the best character development; Louisa and Will are not characters you'll forget, and even the minor characters were memorable. There is more to say about this story, but I am still speechless. I'm curious about the next book in the series, especially given the last chapter. This is my second and favorite novel by Jojo Moyes, and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next. This story will stay with me for a long time.
