Book Review: Me Before You #goodreads #uglycryface
août 14, 2014
Every now and then, I like a good romance
novel without resorting to Nicholas Sparks’ predictability and without
succumbing to the latest, poorly written trendy trilogy. The perfect
alternative? British novelist Jojo Moyes’ books.
I recently binge read Jojo Moyes’ Me Before
You in a single sitting. Keep in mind I was off that week and simply wanted to
treat myself to an easy, well written book. Mission accomplished; I couldn’t put it down for hours. Page after page left me wanting
to find out what was going to happen and left me smiling at the progression of
Louisa Clark and Will Traynor’s relationship.
Louisa loses her job at a coffee shop and
really isn’t qualified for much else. She reluctantly applies to be a caregiver
to a young and of course, handsome wheelchair-bound Will. Louisa isn’t very
adventurous and rather broke, whereas rich Will lived a life full of excitement
and travels before his accident. Like any good cliché, they are opposites who dislike
each other at first, but then learn a tremendous deal from one another.
Although their relationship is slightly predictable, the writing is relatable
and sharp. It becomes more than a romance novel, but one about life, happiness
and tribulations. The characters’ bond, humor, adventures and personality will
draw you in, make you laugh and trust me, they’ll also make you sob. I mean the
ugly cry face kind. So take off that mascara and happy reading.
