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 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?

Et là j'ai été plutôt déçue... Je n'ai pas retrouvé la Lou pétillante de l'adaptation cinématographique, ni l'émotion ressentie en salle.
Me Before You (Avant Toi) raconte la relation entre Lou, une jeune femme ordinaire de la classe ouvrière britannique, et Will, un jeune homme tétraplégique aisé. Le handicap est ce qui permet leur rencontre, tant ils viennent de milieux qui ne se côtoient guère. Au contact l'un de l'autre, ils vont s'apprivoiser puis évoluer.
Le roman traite du handicap physique lourd - Will ne peut bouger qu'une main et la tête - à la fois dans son implication au quotidien, mais aussi dans son acceptation - ou non. Will était très sportif et dynamique avant son accident et ne peut se résoudre à cette demie vie.
Mais la thématique va plus loin avec la question de l'euthanasie humaine, légale en Suisse, mais pas au Royaume-Uni. De la première réaction choquée, à la lutte pour faire changer d'avis Will, en passant par la compréhension ou l'acceptation, Lou rencontre et expérimente toute une palette d'émotions et réactions - les siennes et celles de la société. Ce roman contribue assurément à alimenter le débat.
Bien sûr, c'est une histoire triste, mais pas aussi émouvante que je ne m'y attendais. J'aurais probablement dû lire le livre avant de voir le film. Certaines situations qui m'ont fait réagir au cinéma grâce au jeu des acteurs sont tombées à plat ici, et j'ai trouvé qu'il y avait des longueurs que le film a su éviter.
Quant à ma lecture en VO, j'ai été au départ un peu déstabilisée par l'Anglais très britannique. Certes normal, mais c'est la première fois que je ressens un tel décalage avec un roman britannique, j'en avait pourtant déjà lu quelques uns en VO (Jane Austen, Bram Stocker, Lewis Caroll, Roald Dahl, George Orwell, JK Rowling), mais je pense qu'ici c'est le niveau de langage plus familier qui m'a perturbée. Ça n'a pas empêché ma compréhension, mais à de nombreuse reprise des expressions m'ont interloquée et j'ai mis à contribution la fonction dictionnaire de la liseuse.
The story and characters are so well developed that I feel as though they are my friends. And the issues that it grapples with are very current topics that it is hard not to be passionate about. There is a certain delicateness and fragility in the principal character that I found I was able to easily identify with her quirks, thoughts and the way she sees the world. It did however make me cry - a lot. But any book that evokes that kind of emotion, in my opinion, is a very good book.
I'm really, really looking forward to seeing the movie of the book also - and for the follow up book (which I have already ordered on Amazon and am counting down for!).
If you like Marian Keyes, this is for you : ordinary people put in extraordinary situations and how they fight. Where Marian Keyes is more clearly in the romance territory, Jojo Moyes is more "women's fiction" which means not necessarily a happy ending.
I would recommend the book to anyone who needs a good cry and I will be reading it again.
Comme le faisait remarquer une autre lectrice, on a vraiment en tête le film " Les intouchables" tout au long de l'histoire...donc une impression de déjà vu...
Les personnages sont écorchés mais se soudent dans leurs blessures mutuelles.
Belle écriture, beaucoup de pudeur et de respect.
La relation qui évolue entre les deux personnages principaux est tout en finesse, en petites touches à la fois émouvantes et amusantes.
Je suis complètement rentrée dans l'histoire de la première à la dernière page.
Magnifique !

It took me a few years to finally get around to reading this book. I knew it was a best seller and that it was popular but I had never checked what it was about - I prefer to go in without any preconceived ideas.
So, yes, it's ChickLit. And yes, I enjoyed it. And yes, my heart broke at the end.
And yes, I've read the thoughts of those people who believe that disability has been portrayed as something with which life isn't worth living.
Here's what I got from this book. I disagree with those people mentioned above. We all have thoughts and feelings of our own: thoughts and feelings that are formed as a result of upbringing, education, experience and others' influences. We are all unique and we each deal with life's crises in our own way. And we all affect other people with our decisions, often knowing of the life changing cards we'll be dealing to loved ones but unable to bring ourselves to open up a new deck.
So, no, I don't feel guilty for enjoying this book. It emphasised for me how quick we can often be to judge others without ever walking in their shoes. It showed me that Love has no rules and doesn't always mean 'happy ever after', but that we're all changed a little each time we experience it and that, often, our biggest decisions can only be made as a result of it.
A beautiful love story, well told, and incredibly thought provoking. Read it for yourself, make up your own mind and don't feel guilty for your reactions.

Actually, once you get passed the whole disabled thing, Will is the fantasy, rich, cold, handsome and sarcastic love interest lots of romance heroine falls for.
As for Lou, she's likeable enough, but she's the usual kooky character that you normally find playing the romantic lead. The one most rich, cold men in these romances end up falling for.
So really, the story is quite conventional.
But despite the two main characters fitting roles we're use to seeing, they do bring a freshness to the roles.
Once I was introduced to the characters and story, I thought there were two possible outcomes to this story, and turns out, one of my guess was correct.
There is a certain feel this story emits and it makes it predictable. It wants your emotions, and you become prepared for the story to try and take it in any way possible.
It explores the feelings of self-worth. It's approach, however, when it comes to Will, has caused much debate in the disabled community. I think the author just wanted to tell a story, from a person that has that kind of attitude and outlook. I don't think there's a big message behind it.
I like most when Lou and Will are interacting, but some scenes just fly by with the author telling us how much fun they had. I feel cheated with these scenes, it's like watching them from afar. You're being told they're connecting, instead of showing.
And maybe that's part of the reason that I don't feel like their relationship is as strong as the writer wants us to believe it is.
I would have like to have seen more scenes where they're connecting and getting through to one another.
We see from quite a few characters point of view, and I would have like to seen from Will's side.
Still, though there are flaws, I enjoyed the read.

That said, the emotions described do feel authentic, and there is no straining for drama, it is all quite natural.
However, as a man-meets-woman romance it disappoints - there is no 'meet-cute', and other major elements of a love story are missing - which I don't want to say, or it would give away key plot points. Even though some elements of a romance - the castle, the travel to wonderful, far-flung locations - are there....?! I found this mix confusing.
So is it a contemporary, more 'realistic' love story? I'm not sure. I was left nonplussed.

This book is so beautifully written. The characters are perfectly developed, every character had a purpose in the story, there were none that felt pointless or unnecessary. I loved the fact the two main characters came from completely different backgrounds and had so many differences, but still found love in eachother!
The plot was written beautifully, I really enjoyed how the romance developed right in front of your eyes but both were in a way oblivious to it. It had me wanting to shout ‘omg just tell him!’
I particularly loved the character of will. Despite being grumpy, he was really loveable and I just couldn’t help but want him to find love ❤️
My only warning is the have tissues at the ready whilst reading this. I’m rather cold hearted when it comes to books, very few make me feel sad, but this has me sobbing! And not just at the ending!
A book that’s ending was the worst but also the most perfect. Please read this at least once in your life
