Me Before You
by Jojo Moyes
I have so much to say about this book. All good and all bad and everything in between. I went into this knowing the ending, knowing the controversy and knowing the hype but came out of it with so much more than what I'd anticipated. I'll be honest, some parts annoyed me, it took me a really long time to realize that this story didn't have any moral other than to live your life to the fullest and that was mostly aimed at Lou. Whatever else was never directed as an opinion that your life is not worth living. It is a situation and I don't think there's anything more to it. But sometimes I couldn't handle the sadness behind Will and how much Lou wanted to help him only to struggle through the process. It wasn't easy to read. And I'll be honest
Now that I've gone through that lets talk about how much I loved it. Because I did. I do. I still do. There is something about Lou and Will that didn't have to be outwardly romantic for you to realize just how romantic it really is. Lou went through so much character development, from someone who was so incredibly boring and average to someone who experienced things and ultimately finally let loose. I felt like that was so important for her character. Will was much more complex, everything about him made me sad and I knew he was such a special character (sometimes wishing I'd gotten to know him more).
This book had its issues but I legitimately and literally struggled to put this down. I would be awake till 2 am flipping through the pages so incredibly engrossed about all of it. The ending killed me inside, I am actually dead inside because of what happened, my recovery process will be long and brutal. Thank you Jojo Moyes.

it bothered me. A lot. That this decision was done so quickly and we weren't given enough time to process it at all. And I understand what the disabled community is coming from because when I first read what was going to happen to Will and why he would be doing what he was doing I just felt like the whole message was lost on me. That it was horrible to think that disabled people could not live on from such an accident. But it was also like I said a situation and not an opinion. I guess I'll leave it at that. Even though I'll probably avoid the movie a bit.Now that I've gone through that lets talk about how much I loved it. Because I did. I do. I still do.
