I was surprised that I had managed to read an entire novel in one day.
But that wasn't everything I was surprised about...
I don't think I've ever cried while reading a novel - at least, not that much. It had me silently bawling over the tragic ending. I hated it. Hated the ending. I hated that I couldn't bring myself to stop reading it when I knew what was about to come in the ending. I wished it had worked out between them. But that ending was what had made the story almost painfully beautiful.
Thank you JOJO MOYES , for writing the beautiful yet heart-wrenching "Me Before You". I would never have thought that the story would have been on that very sensitive topic (it had brought me back to the days I spent in my R.E class, watching a film and looking at case scenarios). I won't spoil the book for anyone so I won't mention the topic here. It was pulled off brilliantly, and I do agree that there will always be different points and perceptions when it comes to making that hard decision or watching someone else doing it.
I felt that I could connect towards Louisa at certain points of the story, and could almost see myself falling in love with Will. It made me thought about my own life, if I could have been as brave as Lou, if I would have stayed if I was in her place instead and if I could break into a wider horizon like she did.
I loved it. Thank you for a poignant, yet brilliant read!
