A Love Story for this generation and perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?
I loved this book and the most thing that hurt my heart during it, is the fact he had no hope but she never gave up on him. It's awesome and i liked it a lot
In some ways this is a conventional love story - except for the fact that one of the lovers is a quadriplegic and you know from the start that the story will end with his death. It was good. It was sad. I’m glad I read it, and I’ll probably read the next one eventually.
I have not been so angry at a book in a long time. There was nothing I liked/enjoyed about this book except knowing that it was going to end. There is probably a lot more I could say about it, but in the interest of not annoying people who did like it, I will just say that this was not the book for me. I think I can honestly say I don't like this domestic fiction/chick lit genre anymore.
