Book Review | Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Since the movie is coming out soon (or has it already come out?), I decided I would read the book.

Summary:
Louisa Clark is a woman in her late twenties who's life has always been the same. However, that is until she loses her long-time job at the Buttered Bun tea shop. Now, Lou is forced to

interview as a caretaker of a quadriplegic to make ends meet for her family. Inexperienced, Lou doesn't believe that she'll land the job. Unexpectedly, Lou gets the job and becomes the caretaker of Will Traynor, a man who had a full life ahead of him until his accident. Lou tries to do her best to bring color back into Will's gray life. What Lou doesn't expect is that Will might do the same to hers.

I did enjoy Me Before You; however, I felt emotionally detached from the characters. I felt as if I didn't really know them; therefore, I didn't really care for them. Although I did like Will and Louisa, I didn't absolutely love them. I simply didn't have the connection I wanted with the characters.

I also wished that I could have read more interactions between Will and Louisa instead of a summary of what had happened.

However, I did really like the setting. The setting was a quaint little town in Britain, and I loved it.

I rated Me Before You about a 3/5 stars, sadly. In a way, I was somewhat disappointed by this book. But I do hope that maybe I'll feel more sympathy for the characters in the movie adaptation.
