THE NEW YORK TIMES NUMBER 1 BESTSELLING NOVEL THAT IS LOVED AROUND THE WORLD, SOON TO BE RELEASED AS A FILM STARRING EMILIA CLARKE AND SAM CLAFLIN
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 tea shop 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.

Praise for Me Before You
'Poignant . . . heartfelt . . . Me Before You, at it's heart, is about two people who properly listen to each other; it is something good' - The Independent on Sunday

'Destined to be the novel that friends press upon each other more than any other next year, it is a tremendous example of what commercial fiction can do when in the hands of an expert. Moyes does a majestic job of conjuring a cast of characters who are charismatic, credible and utterly compelling; Lou and Will are a couple who readers will take to their hearts as they did One Day's Emma and Dex' - The Independent

Ancuta Crainic a dat nota:
This definitely was heart wrenching. My friends warned me about the movie but it looked like they talked to a deaf ear. It broke me. I got to love Will, to understand his choice, to love the way he was willing to help Lou seize her opportunities and see how more than able she was to become a great person. I liked extremely much how well documented all the quadriplegia situation was, and i could only appreciate Jojo Moyes effort. The book is definitely better than the movie in what concerns the portrayal of the characters, getting to know each one and understanding each action. It was easier to understand the struggles faced by Will; the character of Lou was better described as well as her thoughts and her efforts in making Will change his choice. It was a very good read, life changing in some way - that i think it makes the reader relate different to the opportunities and the little things that we take usually for granted, yet they are under a limited time span. Highly recommend.

You might have seen the film, but we promise the book is better - you won't be able to forget quirky Lou's joruney with Will as she becomes his caregiver and their relationship blossoms. You will be needing tissues
Arm yourself with tissues for this incredibly emotional bestseller
This tale of love-against-the odds . . . breaks your heart one minute, only to send it soaring again. Keep the tissues close!
Destined to be the novel that friends press upon each other more than any other next year, it is a tremendous example of what commercial fiction can do when in the hands of an expert. Moyes does a majestic job of conjuring a cast of characters who are charismatic, credible and utterly compelling; Lou and Will are a couple who readers will take to their hearts as they didOne Day's Emma and Dex
Poignant and beautifully written, this book will stay with you long after you've put it down
Funny, believable and heartbreaking, this is sure to be the weepy of 2012
A compelling portrait of an unlikely couple
Me Before Youis a page-turner that sucks the reader into caring about the fate of the heroine . . . By turns funny and moving but never predictable. The plot contains a number of surprises and raises thoughtful questions
A perceptive and moving tale
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
Beautifully written

Read it and weep: Heartbreak collides with humour in Jojo Moyes'sMe Before You
Jojo Moyes has done it again with this funny, touching tale that is impossible to put down. Make sure you have a box of tissues to hand!
When I finished this novel, I didn't want to review it: I wanted to reread it. Which might seem perverse if you know that for most of the last hundred pages I was dissolved in tears. Jojo Moyes, the writer who produced this emotional typhoon, knows very well thatMe Before You. . . is a 'real weepy'. Moyes's story provokes tears that are redemptive, the opposite of gratuitous. Some situations, she forces the reader to recognise, really are worth crying over . . . An affair to remember
Jojo Moyes's poignantly romantic tales have readers streaming their way through boxes of Kleenex . . .Me Before Youis compelling reading...a profound, fundamental, thought-provoking conundrum lies at the heart of the story, a huge moral dilemma, explored with great fictional finesse. Devotees of Jojo Moyes and newcomers alike will settle into this entertaining book with gusto
Romantic, thought-provoking tear-jerker than you won't be able to put down
The Last Letter from Your Lovermanages to be a both gorgeously romantic and partner-ignoringly compulsive read
Utterly absorbing and blissfully romantic
A small-life-big-dreams weepie that'll have you snivelling ecstatically into your cocoa
Utterly absorbing and blissfully romantic
