Publisher's Summary

Shortlisted for: Popular Fiction Book of the Year – Specsavers National Book Awards 2012

Lou Clark knows a lot of things. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop, and she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live, and now everything feels small and joyless. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.

Very touching, everyone should read...

What made the experience of listening to Me Before You the most enjoyable?

I could relate my life to Lou and made me open my eyes to how big the world is, also
Also putting yourself in wills shoes it touched me deeply and have found myself thinking about this story long after I have finished it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Me Before You?

When Lou read the letter from will, I had tears running down my face to have a good touch me this way I won't forget

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favourite?

I liked listening to Nathan, and Katrina the best.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes very my pillow was soaking wet as I lay in bed listening trying to hind the tears from my partner as he try's to sleep

Any additional comments?

Wow book!

Started out reading this thinking it was just light fiction, easy read. It is so much more, I was drawn in by the story and its characters. Fantastic!

Well worth the read

I preferred the written story over the movie version. There were some suttle changes that made the story different. A good read.

Oh wow....

The emotions that this story evoked throughout were far more powerful than I have ever experienced.

While I wouldn't describe this book as a romance (I know some do) I just loved the reality that each character faced, that could be anyone I know. Relatable, thought provoking, humorous and harrowing. I feel richer for having heard this story.
