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?

Vinjii (Grade: B) I was positively surprised by this book. I expected a mindless romance, some clichés and a really easy read. Me Before You offers none of the above. The characters are likeable, and layered. The premise is interesting and the author presents it in an original way. I had tears stinging my eyes by the end of the book and while it was, at least to a certain extent, predictable I was still on the edge of my seat for the last few hours. I couldn't put this down and thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

(Grade: C) Emotional blackmail is a good term for this book. It did exactly what it advertised, tugged at the heart strings, foreshadowed in a way that was obvious in hindsight and was very sweet. A cute and fun read, make sure you have the tissues ready.
