Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes, 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 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.
A Love Story for this generation and perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, 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?

5By GidgetlovestoreadJust read it!!Me Before You
5By JoanabakeA lovely well written story about a young woman who cares for a quadriplegic young man and his wish to commit assisted suicide after a set period when she takes care of him. The story is unsentimental and realistic and the characters are well drawn. I enjoyed every page.So sad
3By FonstevOh I hated how this book ended. Made me cry, I live in the real world with sadness so I don’t want to read about it.Absolutely beautiful.
5By Kaeee 🥺If I had read this book before watching the movie, I’m sure I would’ve had a much more emotional reaction. I truly enjoyed the playful banter dynamic & how witty or out of pocket most of the come backs are. I’m excited to see if Lou actually visits Richie in the future.Every word drew me further in
5By ballin'94JoJo Moyes is a master storyteller. I can’t recommend it enough. Do yourself a favor and read this story as soon as you can. It took my breath away.Incredible
5By AmbernannerThis book far exceeded my expectations. It’s smart, witty, and I enjoyed it every step of the way.Speechless
5By K-HaasThis book has so many emotions in it! I have never wanted to read a book so fast but yet enjoy it slowly. Moyes is a WONDERFUL writer. I really felt everything Louisa was feeling towards Will. The movie was great as well. Portrayed wonderfully & loved seeing the characters come to life & fulfill the amazing promise of the book😋Wow
5By ksimms26I ugly cried on a plane finishing this book. Couldn’t put it down. Such a beautiful story.Good book but didn’t like the ending
4By lkhoardGood book overall kept me reading but once I got to the last three chapters i kept loosing hope on how I would have liked it to end compared to how it actually ended.My heart
5By laneytreehunnaCrying like a baby 🥲Love this book
5By NotskyehThis always has been my favorite book. You will laugh, you will cry, just as if you are there with them.Worth reading
4By GladeolaWe’ll written, enticing, emotional… The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was for several unrealistic details that bothered me (like watching an action movie set in 2022 where they never use cell phones).Lovely
5By MrsKanouseSuch a thoughtful, well written and gripping novelReally sweet story
5By purpellieI ugly cried in the end. I have yet to become so attached to a character that the mere thought of them has made me cry. It wasn’t your typical love and romance story. I admired the authors dedication to the development of Will and Lou’s relationship. I also liked the chapters where we experienced the story from a different perspective than that of Lou, it helped with understanding where Will’s head was at, as well as reminding us that these were people trying to be there for a person they cared about. BeautifulDeeply satisfying
5By lthoma2The story captivated my interest, I loved the characters, but the feelings they had were so profound, I couldn’t help but put myself in their place. Tragic & Uplifting.Great
5By jackie138Love this book! I laughed and cried. I have read a number of Jojo Moyes books.Second time around....
5By Mollielolai just finished this book after i had read it years ago.... still loved every word.
