Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
3.0
I read this book last year because I accidentally stumbled upon it online as a free pdf. I read it again yesterday because the film is about to come out and I wanted to refresh my memories so I could criticize the film about the left out or changed parts (like I do on book-based films that i've actually read).
A year has passed and yet I still feel the same about it. The common story of girl meets disabled boy. The first time in the book that it was mentioned that Will wanted to die, I already knew the ending would be his death or some will he left for the love of his life, that there'd be exchanges of 'I want you to be with someone who could do things that I couldn't' or something along that line. And I was correct! So painfully correct. I was praying for an epic plot twist or something. But alas! We couldn't always get what we want.
I'm still looking forward to the movie. I am a big fan of Matt Dave Lewis, Sam Claflin and Emilia 'Mother of Dragons' Clarke after all. And I just also want to share that Jojo Moyes is very friendly! She replied several times to my nonsensical tweets.
