This is the preorder the stunning sequel to me before you, after you, now. The heartbreaking novel of the year from Jojo Moyes proves you're never too old or young to cry. 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 …

Review of 'Do vstrechi s toboĭ' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Эту книгу я отложил в список для прочтения после того, как увидел рецензию Анастасии Завозовой, первый абзац которой завершался предупреждением о дальнейших спойлерах.

Это история развития отношений девушки, у которой которой мало что было в её жизни и парня, у которого мало что будет.

Есть параллели на "Золушку" и "Пигмалиона", последний упоминается самими героями произведения. Но в целом это не калька с них, а вполне самостоятельное произведение, увлекательное , размеренное, не затянутое, не слащавое, минимум бытовухи. Выбран интересный сеттинг. Хотя из того, что не понравилось: главы с повествованием от лица других персонажей (такой ход кажется вымученным). Из того, что можно назвать не плюсом, не минусом, а особенностью: как мне кажется, наиболее полно раскрывают только Луизу, а Уилл чуть задвигается на второй план.

When Lou Clark loses her job in a cafe, she is faced with trying to find a new one where there just isn't work. She still lives at home, with her sister and nephew, and her income keeps the household going, just about. Her dad's job is at risk too. She reluctantly accepts a job as a carer for Will, who's an arse. He has good reason, his perfect life was ruined when he was hit by a motorbike two years before, leaving him quadriplegic and completely reliant on other people. He's alive but not living and that's the last thing he wants.

I wasn't even really planning on starting Me Before You last night, I am in the middle of another book but picked it up and started reading the first few pages. Next thing I know, it's 3am and there's tears streaming down my face. From the very …
