Me before you

Me before you / Jojo Moyes 369 pg.

Louisa is a small town girl in a small town world and that is just fine with her.  She gets sacked from her job when the cafe where she works closes.  She doesn't have a lot of skills but gets hired to be a caretaker for Will a former "master of the universe" type who was left a quadriplegic after an accident.  Louisa finds Will incredibly depressed, sarcastic, and sometimes mean.  But all of this is better than not having a job.  As time goes on, the emotional connection between Louisa and Will deepens and part of the story is kind of predictable yet the way it unfolds is great.  The author has done a great job with her characters.  You care about all of them and hope the best for them.  This book is fun to read and very funny in places but really deals with some heavy subjects.  What will we become when we grow up?  When will we grow up?  Who has the right to make life and death decisions?  Why do people become attracted to each other? If you like charming characters that seem very real and have potential for growth, give this book a try.
