Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
A deeply emotional story that will leave you on the verge of tears.
Louisa Clark is a quirky, small-town woman with a steady boyfriend and a close-knit family. But when she unexpectedly loses her café job, she finds herself taking on a role as a caregiver for Will Traynor—a once-adventurous, thrill-seeking man who has been confined to a wheelchair since an accident two years ago. Will has already made up his mind about his future, but Lou is determined to change it.
I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but I was instantly captivated. The characters pulled me in, making me deeply reflect on the heartbreaking situation unfolding. At first, Will comes across as an arrogant, privileged man who talks down to Lou—even after his accident, his attitude remains sharp and cutting. More than once, I wanted to reach into the pages and shake him. But as the story unfolds, you begin to understand his pain, his choices, and why he’s made the decision he has. While many may disagree with Will’s choice, I couldn’t help but wonder if I would do the same in his place.
Lou was an absolute joy to follow—her eccentric style, her big heart, and the way she never quite fit in at home made her so relatable. I connected with her deeply and loved watching her grow throughout the novel.
The ending took me by surprise in the best way. I loved how, despite everything, Will’s priority was always Lou—pushing her to live fully and chase the life she deserved. Jojo Moyes has an incredible talent for storytelling, and this book is proof of it. Heart-wrenching, beautifully written, and unforgettable.

Thanks for this author and book suggestion.
Carl Sagan, a popular science writer, wrote in Broca's Brain "One should only read great books". He wasn't being a prig. He reasoned that regardless what one said about how many books they read, to read one book a week the whole of one's reading life could at best be 3000 books. After concluding there are millions of books one could read, he decided one should only read great books.
That always sounded reasonable to me. Yet, I often don't want to be reasonable.
At present, for example, I want to be homesick for mom and dad and days gone by. So, I'm reading in print the book "Three Wild Dogs" by Markus Zusak. It's meeting my need to look back, while grounding me in my connection to my oldest dog Bosco, that I thought I would lose last summer. It is not a great book like Brothers Karamosov. But it is a great read for the middle of winter, to an old widower missing almost everything.
Conversely, I have been an Audible subscriber for years. I have hundreds of titles on different devices that now do nothing but play audio books. It is probably not an exaggeration to say I have bought "Waterloo" and "Two Years Before The Mast" at least 5 times each.
I still remember the very first audio book I bought in cassette form in a truckstop back in the early 1990's, "A World Lit Only By Fire". I might have bought that 5 times as well (cassettes didn't last long at all).
The point is, I have 3 credits with Audible and I just bought and downloaded a book by the Author you recommended. She has written and published many books, but I had not heard of her. I chose "The Giver Of Stars" because of my mood and the narrator. She reads well, and I have done to much health care.
So, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
