Me Before You (Me Before You #1) by Jojo Moyes- Restarting May 3rd 2021

[Kirsty]

I'm starting reading this today.

[Kirsty]

I am up to chapter 9 and so far I think it is ok. It took me awhile to get into it as I find Louisa's character a little bit annoying at times.

(view spoiler)[ It must be so difficult for Will's parents I couldn't imagine being put in that situation (hide spoiler)]

Me too! Honestly, I didn't like the way the story began initially and I agree with your opinion about Lou's characteristic. But believe me, the story will be so much intriguing and turns out one of my all-time-faves afterwards!

[Kirsty]

I have read quite a bit of this so far today and I am enjoying it a lot more now. At times, Louisa still annoys me but I have got into the story a lot more now.

(view spoiler)[ Patrick is such a child and gets jealous very quickly. I wish Louisa would realise what he is like and end it with him. Patrick only seems to be interested in himself and only cares about Louisa when he is jealous of Will. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 19: (view spoiler)[This POV from Nathan is pretty unnecessary. The randomly placed POV chapters disrupt the flow of the story. (hide spoiler)]

I can't agree with you more about Patrick. I really didn't like him for starters, but the dislike turned into hatred the more jealous he felt. Sometimes I hope whatever it was between Lou and Will would be possible.

[Kirsty]

I am so glad Louisa has finally ended it with Patrick he was so jealous and didn't seem to pay her much attention until Will came along. I'm not sure about the chapters from other characters points of view. I feel they are a bit unnecessary I'd rather read Louisa's or Will's POV.

[Nur Raihan]

Chapter 1
(view spoiler)[at first I thought Lou is a guy.. until I learned that her name is actually Louisa. Haha! And I can see where the story goes from here, hope it will not disappoint (hide spoiler)]

LOL! It won't! :) Hope you enjoy it.

[Abby]

Finished: (view spoiler)[I had gotten excited when Mrs. Traynor called Lou to come to Switzerland, thinking that maybe Will had changed his mind. But of course he had to die. I knew it all along. :( I definitely cried. (hide spoiler)]

[Kirsty]

I finished this today and I ended up quite enjoying it. (view spoiler)[ I did think that the ending was very predictable but still really sad. Although it seemed a bit rushed for me (hide spoiler)]

There were minor things that I didn't enjoy in this book and that is why I gave it 4 stars. I felt it was a bit slow at the start and the extra POV didn't add that much for me.

[Gayatri]

12% (view spoiler)[ The start is intriguing. I have never read a book about a disabled character before. I do think Louisa gives up on herself too easily. Its too early to talk about Will (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

32% (view spoiler)[ I am confused. Why would she leave him like that. Doesn't she realise that will make him want to off himself even more. Then she is convinced so easily to go back. I thought there was some determination in her character. That is so going away (hide spoiler)]

[Nur Raihan]

Chapter 11

(view spoiler)[Oh wow, they're finally going for an outing!! And what's a big deal helping someone who is stuck in a mud anyway? UGHHH. And Will was right, Louisa could've asked about his liking/disliking first before going on for the outing (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

*this is a re-read for me guys*


I don't know why it took me so long to pick this up again, I've fogotten how interesting Louisa and Will are. :)
Up to chapter five (view spoiler)[ I forgot how much of an ass Patrick is too. Will is obviously so unhappy anyone would feel the same way in that situation. Lou is really funny though, can't wait for her to cheer him up a bit. (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

52% (view spoiler)[ Its like Will has given up already. Its so sad! Lou is really trying hard though. What the hell is up with Patrick! He is such a jerk and Treena is so self centred. Its always all about her. Everyone else has to struggle as long as she gets what she wants (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

70% (view spoiler)[ I feel bad for Lou but, there also is a little hope for Will. Maybe he will survive this. Why did Lou move in with Patrick. That guy clearly does not care about her. That random point of view of Nathan threw me off. (hide spoiler)]

[Nur Raihan]

Omg I've something to ask about chapter 12 but I'm outside right now!! Gosh will definitely ask right away after I got back from home :(

[Amy]

Chapter seven (view spoiler)[ that shaving scene was intense, pity that the sister came in and ruined the cute moment. (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Well that was heartbreaking. I was really rooting for them and now thats not going to happen. I'm really sad. Hopefully Lou gets a happy ending (hide spoiler)]

[Nur Raihan]

Chapter 12

(view spoiler)[So it started with flashbacks of Louisa Clark in her younger days, and then I thought that it's back for the current moment when Will's scene came. But then, was it a flashback too? Lou & Will and that whole dress thing? (hide spoiler)]

I just got back reading because I've been busy this past few days with.... life basically, AND I NEED A FAST ANSWER. someone please help me out!!

I couldn't continue reading until I know what this really means :(

[Nur Raihan]

Chapter 15

(view spoiler)[Am I the only one who finds it funny that Will & Nathan actually bet what Louisa will be doing on a Saturday night? (watching television/reading a book) Haha! I'll definitely read a book, *winks. And look who finally braves herself and gets a tattoo at the tattoo parlour. Well thank you, Will :) (hide spoiler)]

I'm not sure what you're refering to... Can you please elaborate further? :)

[Nur Raihan]

Its okay Mei, my friend had already explained it to me, and I've read a few chapters today. Have you finished reading?

[Mei]

Nur, Yup! That's why I'm sort of confused what you're talking about haha

[Nur Raihan]

Hahaha I see. Nevermind, I've sort it out by now. I guess? wait, I'll add you as friend and I'll message u :)

[Nur Raihan]

I JUST FINISHED THIS (so late, I know) but OMGGGGG THE FEELS. ITS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I'm sooooo gonna read After You after this!! Can't wait to be reading it. Who's with me?:)

[Amy]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ Oh dear, Will keeps dropping these little hints and I didn't notice it the first time I read it but now I'm tearing up already! I like that Will keeps betting Lou will do things, her finding out gives her a bit of a kick up the backside! Her tattoo sounds really cute but Will's was a little sad, I didn't find it all that funny. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Just finished this and I felt so connected to all the characters it was such a blow at the end :( loved it though! Can't wait to read After You

I will be reading this but won't be starting it until Saturday or Sunday.

[Cami]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I knew this book was going to be sad from the prologue. I do like it though, and I want to see if Lou realizes that Patrick is low key a jerk. (hide spoiler)]

[Val]

Same, Lindsey

[Ashley]

Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[ I hate Patrick so much! He's such an ass, and I can't understand why. He doesn't even pay attention to his girlfriend but he expects her to pay attention to him. Also, her sister is really rude as well. Just because you do better in school doesn't mean you're a better person in general. Lou is the one allowing her to go to school, at least treat her with some respect. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 18: (view spoiler)[ Aww that was cute. Wondering when Lou is finally going to break up with Patrick. It's inevitable really.. does he even actually care about her? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 22: (view spoiler)[ What does Lou have in mind? Where could they possibly go? I feel like it's somewhere I should already have in mind and I'm just too blind to see it. That thing about will having decided he'd never get better.. does he mean his injury in general or his pneumonia? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chapter 25: (view spoiler)[ I definitely saw that thing with Patrick coming as soon as Lou decided to tell him. He really is an awful person. He obviously didn't even think about what the consequences would be. If you actually loved her, you would care if she was being bombarded with journalists. (hide spoiler)]

[Cami]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ I'm sure she can convince him from not wanting to die. (hide spoiler)]

[Cami]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ Aww, Will mad her the bumblebee tights!! <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Cami]

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[ I do get what Patrick is saying, and I do feel bad for him, but in all fairness he did spend a lot of the time training. (hide spoiler)]

[Cami]

Ending (view spoiler)[ Well that was sad. And I'm not sure why Lou's mom is still mad at her. Will's life must have been extremely hard for him and even though I didn't thinking himself was the answer, it is still his choice. (hide spoiler)]

[Val]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ i'm enjoying it very much, though i believe it can be pretty predictable and i can see a bit of a cliche in some of the characters. i mean, ex girlfriend and friend getting married? egocentric and asshole boyfriend? bitter man who slowly treats her better because he's obviously falling in love?

i surely do love the couple though, i think will is going to be very cute towards lou in the end hahaha lol hope it doesn't go on as predictable as up to now, i still love chick lits they're so entertaining. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

I am rereading. :)

[[deleted user]]

Starting this tonight!! My copy has arrived!!

[Beatrice]

Chapter 1-9 :

(view spoiler)[All my feels are coming back to me. Will Traynor's sarcasm is so amusing but I really feel bad for him. Louisa Clark's personality is very pleasing. These two are both lost. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 10 - 18

(view spoiler)[I'm trying not to get emotional when it comes to the end. I'm trying not to.... I love how these two live for the moment. Will being able to help Louisa to go on adventure and expand her horizons (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

18-finish:

(view spoiler)[I cried harder than the first time. It's so good! Will and Lou forever! <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah]

Can you restart this buddy read to start on the 9th please, Sarah? (tomorrow) Thanks so much!
