Will needed Lou as much as she needed him, but will her love be enough to save his life?

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun teashop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.

Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.

What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.

Beautifully romantic, moving and heart-wrenching, Me Before You is the unforgettable love story that defined a decade.

If you fell in love with Lou Clark, find out what she does next in After You and Still Me - out now!

Ratings and reviews

Ok so you've read description of this book and think its injured boy meets lonely girl, they fall in love and everytings rosie. NOT SO! This is an amazing story about tragic circumstances and how two people from completely different backgrounds, upbringing, culture and life experiences LEARN from eachother about life, and love and mainly, how to" look outside the box" and live "in the moment". The author has captured the very essence of vulnerability, pain, sorrow, joy and humour. OMG, I'm praying that she writes a sequel to this book because I'd love to continue the journey with Louisa to see her experience all that Will hoped for her after he leaves the earth. The just of this story is to make people think about "choices" in life. That every human being has the right to decide what is best for them, whatever the circumstances. There is no doubt in my mind that this author was born to write and to share her gifts with the rest of the world. I challenge you to read this, it will touch your very soul and change you in some positive way.

The language, wit and meaning has so much depth and emotions. Not only does it have a great message and exposes the reader to understand more about sensitive issues. Moyes incorporates numerous laugh out loud moments. Seriously, if you like unexpected twists and humour, and a beautiful love story. This book meets the criteria. Not your typical rom-com. P.s, I bawled, sobbed and almost screamed with sadness, finished reading it over two days - literally didn't put it down. Yeah, it's that good.

The kind of ending which perhaps makes the book more interesting but today most of "love story" has twisted ending so it was not like something you would not have expect. Just make you feel bad about human kind.We are so selfish and we are giving up so quickly,our ambitions taking wrong turn those days.
