Me Before You

      It has been awhile since I was able actually to sit down and read a book. Having four children will decline your reading just a tad! I finally decided even if it meant reading late at night and losing a little sleep I was going to go back to doing what I loved.
    My first choice of book was Me Before You. I had seen the trailer for the movie that is now out based on the book, so I decided why not. Me Before You in case, you're not aware of the book is written by Jojo Moyes. This book is the first book I have ever read by her, and in this novel, she did not disappoint. I thought that it started out a little slow but after a couple of pages I was hooked and could not put it down. I will try to do this with as little spoilers as I can. The book is based around Will Traynor and Louisa Clark.
   Will was once a powerful business man who ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time and is now wheelchair bound. Louisa has recently lost her job at a local coffee shop and is now seeking employment. This dilemma is where Louisa and Wills's path crosses. She is hired by Will's mother to be his caregiver. The story takes a turn when Louisa finds out the families secret plan for Wills future. She gets emotionally torn between what is right and wrong, and what decision she needs to make.
     I will end by saying that this book is slightly heart-wrenching (so have some tissue close by if you're an emotional person), but it is beautifully written, and it is easy to relate to the characters. I look forward to reading more of Mrs. Moyes work in the future.

 I am aware that there is a sequel to this book called "After You." I am currently in the decision process of rather I want to leave Louisa as she was at the end of the book or if my curiosity will get the best of me and see what the author has her doing. Decisions, Decisions!
