Me Before You, by Jojo Moyes

6/1/2016

Louisa's life is lackluster. She goes to her job at the tea shop, she goes home to her parents house, and she occasionally spends time with her boyfriend Patrick, who is far more concerned with his exercise regiment than he is with her. But when she loses her job at the tea shop, she accepts a temporary six month position as a caregiver to a quadriplegic, Will Traynor. The story focuses on Will's decision to end his life by assisted suicide, which is the reason behind Louisa's 'temporary' position, as he promised his parents he would give them another 6 months, but no more. Convinced that he just needs something to live for, his parents hire Louisa who is bright, fun and talkative in hopes that she can convince him that he still has something to live for. Louisa gave Will happiness that he hadn't experienced for a very long time and Will gave Louisa the determination to do something with her life and not let it go to waste.
