#1 New York Times bestseller, and major motion picture. Read the sequel After You and Jojo’s new book, Paris for One.
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?

Amazon.com Review
Amazon Best Books of the Month, January 2013: Before Louisa met Will, her plans didn't reach beyond their tiny English town. Will, when he wasn't closing multimillion-dollar deals, blew off steam scaling mountains, leaping from planes, and enjoying exquisite women--until an accident left him paralyzed and seriously depressed. When his mother hires Lou to keep his spirits up, he meets her awkward overtures with caustic contempt, but she's tenacious and oddly endearing. Their fondness grows into something deeper, gaining urgency when she realizes his determination to end his life, and her efforts to convince him of its value throw her own bland ambitions into question. Plumbing morally complex depths with comedy and compassion, Jojo Moyes elevates the story of Lou and Will from what could have been a maudlin weepie into a tragic love story, with a catharsis that will wring out your heart and leave you feeling fearless. --Mari Malcolm
From Booklist
In The Last Letter from Your Lover (2011), Moyes presented a heavily plotted novel that spanned decades and featured parallel romances. Her newest work dials down the intricacy, and the result is a far more intimate novel. Moyes introduces us first to Will Traynor, a formerly high-flying, thrill-seeking executive now confined to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic. Twentysomething Louisa “Lou” Clark has been hired as his caretaker, despite a total lack of experience. As the prickly Will and plainspoken Lou gradually warm to each other, she learns that the six-month length of her contract coincides with the amount of time Will has agreed, for his parents’ sake, to postpone his planned assisted suicide, a subject Moyes treats evenhandedly. Armed with this information, Lou sets about creating adventures for Will, hoping to give him a reason to live. Simultaneously, Will encourages Lou to expand the expectations of what her life could be. All signs point to romance and a happy ending for the pair, but Moyes has something more heartbreakingly truthful in mind: Sometimes love isn’t enough. --Patty Wetli
Review
"Jojo Moyes has written the perfect modern love story. You will be astonished at what you feel, and what you hope for when you are forced to face the possibility of your own dreams. It's "that" good. Read it now."
--Adriana Trigiani, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Shoemaker's Wife"
"Some books make you stop and think, compel you to examine your own take on life or your position or stand on an issue. Jojo Moyes' ME BEFORE YOU will surprise you--it is impossible not to put yourself in the characters' shoes and you will find yourself thinking about the choices you might make if life changed in an instant. I loved it."
--Lee Woodruff, "New York Times" bestselling author of "In an Instant"
"ME BEFORE YOU is a delicious surprise--funny and hopeful and heartbreaking, the kind of story that will keep you turning pages into the night. Lou Clark and Will Traynor will capture your heart and linger there long after their story has ended."
--Eleanor Brown, "New York Times "bestselling author of "The Weird Sisters"

A waste of two lives and an ending
By M.L
Let me start by saying that I know I'm in the minority here, but I did not care for this novel at all.
Im not going to get into the movie trailer that was recently released, but I must say that a lot of movie goers are going to be deeply disappointed.
I have to applaud Moyes' high-quality writing, the way she seems to effortlessly string words together to tug the reader in whichever direction she pleases is impressive and the beginning of the book seemed promising, akin to the fault in our stars' plot line where the characters' illnesses provide them with a depth and humanity that makes their relationship and interactions intriguing. But it all goes downhill from there.
Lou's character is so precious, her perseverance and love for Will was strikingly beautiful. However, her efforts are all pointless and the message we are left with is that a life with disability is not worth living. This book had the chance to inspire and challenge the reader, to bring them close to the realities of living with physical challenges while proving that life can go on and there is beauty and hope in what others would deem tragic. Will is surrounded by a family that cares for him, he has financial stability, he can still do countless activities despite his condition and most importantly, his life is enhanced by the presence of a character who is willing to give up absolutely everything for the slim chance to change his mind.
I was furious as I read the book's ending. (which was predictable but still undesirable) Lou is willing to give up everything because she learns to see beyond the wheel chair, she can see Will as the man he can no longer see himself as. Will's letter at the end was especially infuriating. He asks her to fulfill her potential and pursue a life she'd missed out on, to live the life she "deserves". He spends his last months telling her that nothing would make him happier than seeing her flourish outside their hometown, yet he is unable to understand that the only life she wants is one with him in it. He urges Lou to expand her horizons and challenge her limits and yet he can't seem to see beyond his wheelchair. It was cowardly of him to give everything up when he had a chance at life with someone who could see him for who we truly was, he is haunted by an image of his old self and fails to realize that Louise is in love with the man he is now, and asks for nothing more than his will to live.
It is NOT a heroic act, it is arrogant to decide when his life should end and the suffering he caused Lou far outweighs any "opportunities" he could have given her with the inheritance.
It seems that only those that are close to or have witnessed the struggle of someone living with physical disabilities see the atrocities being discussed in the novel. That despite all the reminders that his life can still be filled joy and love, he has the right to choose when to end it, regardless of who he hurts in the process. I've read many books that don't end in happy ever after, but there was not point to the depressing, suicidal ending. No reason could have justified his choice but his decision to die is summed up as his inability to cope with the fact that he can no longer live the adventurous life he used to have or behave as the successful, athletic, popular, rich kid he once was.
Will despises the fact that he can not make his own choices, and yet he urges Louisa to go back to school, move on with her life, and witness his death without regard for her only request - his presence. The final scene is selfish and cruel, Lou is left suffering quietly because of her love for him. It goes against everything ethical and moral Lou's family stands for and yet she stands by him as he fails to see the life he could have led with her. Life already has its downsides and challenges, I don't need a novel that celebrates suicide and contemplates that tragedy makes life pointless.

Hmmm...expected more after all the great reviews
By Book-gal23
I'm not here to debate the decision in this book because I do understand it and think that it isn't fair for anyone to judge a person's decision unless they've been in that same situation. Even then, two individuals can go through the same thing and feel very differently about it (i.e. reading this book).
I didn't like this book as much as everyone else. Here are a list of reasons I cannot wrap my head around...
1. My main gripe with this book is that it's in the "romance" section. Was it about friendship? Yes. A woman finding confidence in herself? Yes. But this was NOT a romance. Will didn't love Lou. He never says it, implies it, or shows it. He just throws a lot of money at her and hopes that makes everything in her life better. The one thing that will make her more complete, he takes away from her. I imagine others are going to say he helped find herself, but he really didn't. He dictated what she should do in her life, instead of asking what she would like to do. Ironic, since what bugged Will so much was that nobody listened to him.
2. Why was there never a chapter from Will's POV? We get chapters from other characters that I couldn't care less about, but we don't get one from the other main character. Strange.
3. Did anyone else find it odd that Will's mother negotiated for 6 months but had no other stipulations? She was a magistrate after all. The way her mind works you think she would've negotiated 6 months, but in addition, Will had to join a support group/go to counseling, go out, whatever it may be. It may not have worked, but I can't fathom she wouldn't have tried that. What's the point of arguing for more time but keeping everything the same. Obviously, you will have the same results.
4. There are so many scenes that are completely pointless. I pushed through the boring scenes (mostly dealing her family, or Patrick) because I thought they would have a purpose, but nope. As a reader, I could've skipped over all those parts (especially with Patrick) and had all the same information. Another example: the California trip. A lot of pages explained Lou researching it and talking about it and then nothing becomes of it (I understand why they didn't go at that exact time) but for it to be such a big part of the book, I expected it to happen at least sometime during the book.
5. I find it unbelievable that Will's family or doctors wouldn't have already provided him with the technology Lou gets for Will. They were wealthy and resourceful, but hadn't thought of this???
This book came highly recommended to me, but overall, I was not impressed. A book doesn't have to have a happy ending for me to be fulfilled, but this book didn't have any romance (I'm not talking about physically but emotionally).

Why live if you can't be perfect?
By Bethany B
***SPOILERS***
This was a book club selection and I couldn't bring myself to finish reading it after learning that the male lead goes ahead and kills himself. He had so much life left to live and I find it disgusting to promote the killing of quadriplegics. Aside from parents infantilizing him, he had all he needed to start a heroic new chapter in his life: mental capacity, money for care, family that cared, and beautiful young woman that loved him just as he was. Instead of taking on the challenge to grow, he throws in the towel.
I feel kind of guilty for having purchased this book, as if my money went to slap all the people with physical ailments and physical impairments in the face, telling them they'd never be enough or more than a burden. I am sorry. I do wish I could get my money back so not a penny would go to the author.
