Unique, unexpected, heartbreaking

What a wonderful, wonderful book!
I have to say "Me before you" is one of the best books I've read in a long time. When I first read the content I thought it would be a classic love story, thatwill and Lou would fall in love and did he would regain his will to live. SPOILER: That is not how it's going to end. I always give a 100 pages book - if it hasnt caught me then I will put it to the side and read on after a couple of weeks or months. I think "Me before you" needs a bit to really get you, to suck you into the story. But once you are in Lou's and Will's world you are going to stay. Clearly you expect them to fall in love, but still the first signs are small and Surprising and yet unexpected. You feel with Lou When all she wants is to keep Will alive, to help him regain his will to live and yet she knows she is not going to succeed. The topic of assisted suicide is difficult and tough and it takes a lot of sensitivity to write about it in a romantic novel - Jojo Moyes has managed it like nobody else Could. I was torn between two positions Throughout reading this book. One the one hand I felt with Lou and Will's parents, who desperately wanted to keep him alive and who felt rejected and disappointed as theywere not "enough reason" for him to live. But on the otherhand I Agreed with Will and Understood That he did not want to lead a life like this. Will had lived from adventures and had lead a wild, active and extreme live. He knew he did would never be happy and satisfied in his wheelchair. In the end I think it what his call and he had the right to decide. Yet, for Lou It was heartbreaking and simply unbearable. The two of them only had little time with eachother and Their love story was different then, but still so unexpected and wonderful. When the bookended I cried my eyes out ... Not only Because Will had died, so Because I did not want to leave Their World.

Read it - it will make you worship your life a lot more!
