What do you do when you find out you’re someone’s last hope?
That’s the situation Louisa Clark finds herself in after she’s hired to care
for quadriplegic Will Traynor. In Me Before You, Louisa is perfectly content
living her life in a small English village, working at a café, and not
venturing outside her comfort zone. But when the café closes, Louisa must find
another job quickly, because she is the family breadwinner. Enter Will Traynor,
a man who lived life on the edge. After his accident, he is a stubborn, moody,
and bossy man who is not looking to improve his situation. Louisa discovers
that she’s been hired to change Will’s outlook on life. She does her best to
show him what his life could be like, despite his physical challenges.
I loved this book. In fact, I think it’s one of my favorites
that I read this year. I really enjoyed that the story is not only told from
Will and Louisa’s point of view, it’s also told from the point of view of other
important characters. This lets readers see the story from all sides, and see
what other characters think of the situation. I really enjoyed Jojo Moyes’
writing, and will be reading more of her books.
If you liked Me Before You, you might also like The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving by Jonathan Evison.
