Me Before You (Me Before You, #1) in Crazy Challenge Connection

Omg this book had me in tears. I waited to see the movie that was made for this novel because I didn't want to ruin it and I am so glad that was the road I chose. Such an intense discussion to have with your readers and with such hard hitting subject matter. I see all sides of this and how each person is affected differently. Such a rollercoaster of emotions and I am just left broken hearted but touched at the same time.
Great Read. ...more

Yup, a tear jerker, but so worth the spilling of tears :) it's a wonderful moving story, and I was so drawn into the characters and the story that I couldn't put the book down, tearing through the pages , mulling over and digesting the complexities of life's challenges that Lou and Will find themselves in. You'll be reminded that there's no black and white answers, only differing perspectives of love, life and loss. ...more

One of those very well executed but tough subject matter (with triggering potential).

If you can read Jodi Picoult, you can read this one and I do recommend it.

For a very thick novel, it flew by fast in one sitting (note: life long speed reader) as there was no way I could step away from it.

I loved it. Wonderful characters, difficult topics, charming romance....and although I didn’t want to reach the end for more than one reason, it was a very satisfying ending and I look forward to reading more from this author!

I'm overwhelmed with emotion. How can you watch someone choose to die and know you are powerless to make them change their mind and want to live? ...more

I was hesitant to pick up this book since it wasn't my usual historical fiction, but it was recommended to me so I gave it a try. It started out slow for me, but once I got caught up in the story I was hooked. I didn't put this down all day until I was done-needed quite a few tissues at the end. I'm glad I didn't dismiss this and I will be looking for more from this author. ...more
