Shauna (5/5)

A Must Read!

"One of my favourite romance novels! The connection between Will and Louisa in the novels is one of my favourite aspects of this book, and I think Louisa is one of my favourite romance heroines. She is relatable in her complexity, and this book is equally heartbreaking and moving."

Jocelyne (5/5)

An amazing book.

"I am truly amazed by this book, the storyline is so good and it’s really impactful. It really shows the side that we don’t see to a person who has a Disability. I love this book and it forever will be my one and only favourite book. If you haven’t read it yet please do it’s an absolute must read, and will make you get a good cry."

Parmisshesari08 (5/5)

Good read

"I was recommended by a friend to read this book. I can honestly say I really enjoyed it. The characters were well written, the situation in itself made me tear up a couple of times along the way. The question I often posed to myself was: would I be able to be in the shoes of Louisa Clark? How would I react? It will make you open your eyes indefinitely and you throw yourself into the character yourself at moments. I recommend this book :) hope this review helps"

Mdjso (4/5)

A Favourite

"This is a reread for me and I really wish that I had reviewed this book when it was initially published. Although I still love this book after rereading, nothing will quite beat the hit of the emotional punch when I first read this book. Along with being quite the emotional story, this is potentially the most controversial novel that I've ever read. Without going into spoiler territory, I totally understand the conflicting thoughts because it truly is dependent on individual beliefs and therefore, I can understand the varying arguments. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and especially in regards to this topic, your opinion is not wrong. If you decide to pick this book up, expect to get emotional. For many reasons, from start to finish this novel is heartbreaking. Unfortunately, coming from someone who works in the medical field, this scenario is not too farfetched from reality. I have no doubt that I will continue rereading this novel over the years. I think the story is not only thought provoking but also involves a topic that encourages discussion."

Brooke (5/5)

I LOVED THIS BOOK

"I never read this book HOWEVER I saw the movie first! Then I read the 2 sequels! LOVED them as well."

Praise for ME BEFORE YOU:

"A hilarious, heartbreaking, riveting novel . . . I will stake my reputation on this book."
Anne Lamott, People Magazine

“When I finished this novel, I didn’t want to review it: I wanted to reread it. . . . an affair to remember.”
New York Times Book Review, Liesl Schillinger

“An unlikely love story . . . To be devoured like candy, between tears.”
O, The Oprah Magazine

“Funny and moving but never predictable.”
USA Today (****)

“Funny, surprising and heartbreaking, populated with characters who are affecting and amusing . . . This is a thought-provoking, thoroughly entertaining novel that captures the complexity of love”
People Magazine

“Masterful . . . a heartbreaker in the best sense . . . Me Before You is achingly hard to read at moments, and yet such a joy.”
New York Daily News

“READ IT AND WEEP: Heartbreak collides with humor in Jojo Moyes’s Me Before You.”
Good Housekeeping

“There are books that you cannot put down. There are also books where you become so invested in the characters, you force yourself to stop reading to prolong the experience because you don't want the story to end, and that's what can happen when you read Jojo Moyes' latest book, Me Before You. . . . You'll find yourself laughing, smiling, feeling angry and, yes, crying. My only suggestion: Me Before You should be sold with a pack of tissues.”
The Associated Press

"Jojo Moyes has written the perfect modern love story.  You will be astonished at what you feel, and what you hope for when you are forced to face the possibility of your own dreams. It's that good. Read it now."
Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The Shoemaker's Wife

“ME BEFORE YOU is a delicious surprise—funny and hopeful and heartbreaking, the kind of story that will keep you turning pages into the night. Lou Clark and Will Traynor will capture your heart and linger there long after their story has ended."
Eleanor Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Weird Sisters

“Some books make you stop and think, compel you to examine your own take on life or your position or stand on an issue.  Jojo Moyes’s Me Before You will surprise you—it is impossible not to put yourself in the characters’ shoes and you will find yourself thinking about the choices you might make if life changed in an instant.  I loved it.”
Lee Woodruff, New York Times bestselling author of Those We Love Most

"A lovely novel, both nontraditional and enthralling."
Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Moyes’ twisting, turning, heartbreaking novel raises provocative moral questions while developing a truly unique relationship between two people brought together by chance. With shades of David Nicholls’ beloved One Day, Me Before You is the kind of book you simply can’t put down—even when you realize you don’t want to see it end. . . . A big-hearted, beautifully written story that teaches us it is never too late to truly start living.”
BookPage

"Moyes’ latest is made heartwarming, thanks to the vibrancy of its main characters, both of whom will keep readers on their toes with their chemistry and witty repartee. . . .humorous and romantic through and through."
Romantic Times
