Publisher's Summary

Discover the love story that captured over 20 million hearts in Me Before YouAfter 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?

Caution if you are a strong ‘right to die’ advocate

I ended up falling asleep twice while listening to this book -an hour each time -and felt like I hadn’t missed anything!? I feel that perhaps some of the exacting detail was unnecessary.
Lou’s reaction to Will’s decision was completely over the top. I felt like slapping her and saying it wasn’t her life. The endless discussion and attempts to have him change his mind infuriated me. All in all, the book left me irritated and sad that Will didn’t have anyone supporting his decision during the last 6 months.

Me Before You

This is one of my favourite books. I read it a few years ago & once I saw that it was available as an audio book, along with the sequels I couldn't resist. I've enjoyed it just as much the second time. I love the story & it was so enjoyable to listen during my long drives or while at the gym. #audible1

Surprising but refreshing ending.

I really enjoyed the nudge to remember to consider others circumstances and get out of my own head and perspectives. I enjoyed the portrayal of the English family, so close knit with an assumed loyalty. The ending was so unhollywood, and it actually shrouded me. I respected Will's conviction to himself over all else. #Audible1
