Have you read 'Me before you' by Jojo Moyes? If you haven had the chance to read it, you should.
This is not a book of romance. It is not a light hearted romance. Its more about two person meeting at the wrong time. I couldnt put it down after reading the first page.
The excerpt from here.
They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . .
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.
Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
A Love Story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

I cried when I was reading the end. These are the thoughts that I had about the book.
I was thinking about Lou's position.....How heart broken she must have felt when Will told her that its not enough? That what they had was not enough. At this point in time, Lou is so full of love for Will. But how will she feel 5 years or 10 years down the road? Will Lou feel that she has missed out on life? But then again she has not seen much of what life has to offer. Will Lou be forever content with what she has now with Will?
Will was an innocent by stander. A person at the wrong place at the wrong time when he got into that awful accident. For such an active person who has done and seen so much, being in his current state is very painful for him.
I couldn't help but think that if its not for the accident, Will would have never fall for Lou. He would not even give her a second thought. (Shoot me but its what I think)
It's my opinion that Will made the right decision, It's very painful for him to keep on fighting. Its been 2 years since the accident but let's be honest, there is no cure, not within his lifetime that is. So he just gave up you asked. It was a very courageous decision and a very difficult choice to make. Will gave Lou a chance in life to be what she wants to be instead of keeping her with him. And who is to say that their love will remain the same? Why not give Lou something that is beneficial to her in the long run?
Sometimes what you want may not be what is right for you.
So these are my thoughts on Me before you. What about yours?
