Jojo Moyes
Me Before You
Fiction
Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn’t know is she’s about to lose her job or that knowing what’s coming is what keeps her sane...
Will Traynor knows a motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he’s going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour...
And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time.

Me Before You is a bittersweet story about love, learning and letting go. It’s a tremendous read and I loved it.

A compelling portrait of an unlikely couple that is less about disability than emotional accommodation.

Enthralling.
Publishers Weekly, starred review
Me Before You is a page-turner that sucks the reader into caring about its heroine.
USA Today
I found myself crying at the end because I was so moved by the story.
Hutchinson Leader
There are books that you cannot put down. There are also books where you become so invested in the characters, you force yourself to stop reading to prolong the experience because you don't want the story to end, and that's what can happen when you read Jojo Moyes' latest book, Me Before You.
Alicia Rancilio
Times Colonist
In Moyes’s memorable novel, a young woman who assists a wealthy quadriplegic devises adventures they can undertake together.
New York Times: Editor's Choice
When I finished this novel, I didn’t want to review it: I wanted to reread it. Which might seem perverse if you know that for most of the last hundred pages I was dissolved in tears. Jojo Moyes, the writer who produced this emotional typhoon, knows very well that Me Before You . . . is [a] ‘real weepy.’ Moyes’s story provokes tears that are redemptive, the opposite of gratuitous. Some situations, she forces the reader to recognize, really are worth crying over. . . . An affair to remember.
New York Times
Me Before You is a page-turner that sucks the reader into caring about the fate of the heroine. . . . By turns funny and moving but never predictable. The plot contains a number of surprises and raises thoughtful questions.
USA Today
Me Before You is the kind of book you simply can’t put down—even when you realize you don’t want to see it end. . . . A big-hearted, beautifully written story that teaches us it is never too late to truly start living.
Bookpage
Moyes' newest work dials down the intricacy, and the result is a far more intimate novel.
Booklist
An unlikely love story involving a fallen Master of the Universe and the down-to-earth caretaker who revives him. To be devoured like candy, between tears.
O, The Oprah Magazine
Readers will fall in love with these two irrepressible souls brought together by the very conflict that may tear them apart.
Shelf Awareness
Heartbreak collides with humour.
Good Housekeeping USA
Written with warmth and wit, this superior weepie will have you sobbing on your sunlounger.
The Irish Times
Me Before You is a delicious surprise — funny and hopeful and heartbreaking, the kind of story that will keep you turning pages into the night. Lou Clark and Will Traynor will capture your heart and linger there long after their story has ended.
Eleanor Brown, author of The Weird Sisters
