“Me Before You is a very poignant story. It has two main characters: Will Traynor, who is a high-achieving, very energetic, sporty, go-getting young man, who, tragically, has an accident and ends up a quadriplegic. Lou Clark is the girl who’s hired by Will’s mum to look after him. (I can’t remember the details, but she’s probably not the first carer that he’s had—most have been seen off very quickly). Lou is like a breath of fresh air in Will’s life. I don’t think he’s ever met anybody like her; she’s certainly never met anybody like him. That immediately sets you up for the perfect scenario of a romance, but this is a tragic romance. It’s about a man who has pretty much given up on life, both literally and metaphorically, and Lou is full of life. It was such a clever matching of those two characters by Jojo Moyes and so well done.” Read more...
