I don't normally read romantic novels, but I have chosen to read this one for multiple reasons. The first is that Jojo Moyes, the author of "Me Before You" is a fantastic author. "The Horse Dancer," "Windfallen," and "The Girl You Left Behind" are all other books written by her that have received great reviews. The second reason I chose this novel to read was it is a change of pace. As I said previously, I do not read romantic novels. I read more historical fiction, or fantasy. I thought it would help me grow as a reader to read a different genre once in a while. So I looked for a romantic novel that had good reviews, and chose this one. The third and final reason I chose this novel was the storyline is captivating. I am curious to see how Louisa helps Will gradually become more happy and how she will fulfill his plans for him. Also, I want to figure out how and why Will's plans will potentially break Louisa's heart. I can't wait to read this novel and will probably give a review on it after I finish it.

Me Before You
Should you make someone you love happy even though it harms you?
"Me Before You" answers that question. I have just started the book (page 10). Supposedly, the book is about a young woman named Louisa Clark, who has, by all definitions, an average, if slightly boring, life. She takes a job working for a physically handicapped whose life was large and exciting before his accident left him bound to a wheelchair. He is moody and depressed, but Louisa overlooks that and soon she will do anything to make him happy. But doing so may also break her heart.
