I learned about this
book from @iamhearte's Instagram account. I was thrilled by her post because
she got tears after reading it. If I am not mistaken, the only book that
brought me to tears while reading at 2:30 AM is entitled "A Walk To
Remember" which I know for a fact that it is a chic book, all the girls
love it! That is why I end up downloading for an ebook of Me Before You written
by Jojo Moyes.
At first I thought
that I was lost already with the story. Lost in the sense that I have to read
the epilogue once again because I don't know if I skip a line or two. It just
happens so fast that Will (I actually thought it wasn't a name too! Silly me!) was
in an accident. Why do we always have a soft heart to a sick person instantly?
And then there's
Lou, short for Louise. The girl who doesn't have any idea of what life is all
about. A boring one for Will. They both contradict each other because Will is
an adventurer while Lou doesn’t mind if she ends up just a book in a book
shelf. But things aren't the same with Will anymore. His life was taken aback
after the accident. And he was just waiting for the right time to come. And
then they met. Lou was hired as Will's caretaker. She wasn't really part of the
plan but one time she heard Will's family conversing about the 6 month waiting
period before Will finally go to Dignitas. He's about to end up his life by
suicidal attempt. Will's mom still hopes that Will might change his decision
and Lou might be the best fitted for that. In an attempt to bring back Will
into life, Lou plans activities for a quadriplegic patient. They become close
that Lou started to have feelings for Will but Will doesn't want to. He is
still firm with his decision. The last activity Lou planned for Will in order
to make him change his mind makes her feel mad and hate Will at all. But in the
end, she finally realize what is right for both of them.
Again I don't want
to spoil and spill every bit of the story. You should find out yourself. But if
you are asking me if it brought me to tears, indeed YES. And after reading that
chapter, I instantly feel sorry and send a message to my husband right away. I
was moved. I was speechless and cried for five minutes before continuing the
story again.
Have you read this
book already? Let's share some sentiment. If you haven't read this and want a
copy, just send me a message and I'll send you a copy in mobi format.
