Don't forget to enjoy every chapter! It is a good read, You need to be inline with Will at the end.

If Faizan doesn't turns up, would you be the discussion leader for the Namesake?"

Sorry, I guess I lost this message in the thread.
It would be okay for me to be the discussion leader if Faizan does not turns up. Please let me know if there are any specific rules.

[Gorab]

Great!

Its very simple. All you have to do is follow the instructions here:

(view spoiler)[ Just kidding! There are no rules :D (hide spoiler)]

Here's something about Will from Chapter 16

(view spoiler)[Watching films, especially foreign ones with subtitles. He could occasionally be persuaded into an action thriller, even an epic romance, but drew the line at romantic comedies. If I dared to rent one, he would spend the entire 120 mins letting out little pffts of derision, or pointing out the great cliches in the plot, until it was no fun for me at all. (hide spoiler)]

I could relate so very much to it. And that's the reason I never considered reading Me Before You.

Chapter 17 - Regarding the Maze part

Accusations for Lou.

(view spoiler)[May be the author doesn't intends it, but I see Lou in a darker shade now.
Consider this possibility :
1. Lou knows Will is going to die.
2. She knows how much he hates sympathy from every other person.
3. She also knows he's currently doing something related to his will with a lawyer.
4. There is no person for whom Will could feel sympathetic.

Whether she created that situation while freaking out in the maze?
She knows Will is the only person around. No interference and interruptions.
Ok. May be it really happened to her. But couldn't she be faking that tragic story to get closer to Will?

5. Her family needs that money!
(hide spoiler)]

I rest my case. Defence attorney?

[Tripti]

Nice in-depth to the book! May be you are right!
Will would be happy when he feels the same confidence of supporting her girl. Really she would be making him happy by doing this. Remember the part when he holds her hand and brings her out.
(view spoiler)[ I actually liked the part that he was happy to see Lou grow and take up the challenges much required. (hide spoiler)]

I stopped at 67%. Given the background and knowing Will's shocking plans, I have a feeling that this book will have a sad vibe. ?Now, I don't want to sadden myself during exams, coz, well, exams itself are kind of sad :D

(view spoiler)[
So u think that she's doing all this to get closer to Will, so when he dies, he will entail his property on her? My god, that's really harsh!!

Getting close does not only implies to leaving behind his property!! now that's harsh!!
We are also not saying that she is doing it intentionally, but she is unknowingly giving him the pleasure of being protective masculine that he has been missing.

[Gorab]

You mean my comment is harsh or her behaviour considering that intention might be true?
Either way, it's harsh :)

On chapter 19 Steve's POV.

All the best for your exams Madhu.

[Tripti]

I meant that
if we assume, getting closer = leaving behind property

this thinking is harsh! ;)

I agree. If we see things this way, every poor heroine can be accused of this thing.

[Gorab]

Always a shade of gray, you can't rule out such possibilities.
I've reached the Swiss part. "Will" be finished in a couple of days.

Lol at the last line!!
Well, you are right. But except the way you put things, Lou's character doesn't look greedy for money. Might be for attention tough, since Pat lost all his interest in her.

[Gorab]

:)
But seriously that's how Lou appeared to me.
Finished it. Liked it. Not going to continue the series.

About Will
(view spoiler)[I respect and like the fact that they honoured Will's choice and gave him the right to decide the way he wanted. Its one of the most difficult decisions...
ANd it was also not a decision taken in haste or just because of a moment of frustration.... albeit a well thought one. (hide spoiler)]

[Tripti]

same here!! I respect Will's decision... but I can never support such acts! Everyone undergoes a number of situations in life, and everyone may be handicap in a way or other but ending it is no solution.

How did you add that 'view spoiler' link Gorab?
I'd like to use it in future!

It's simple.
<*spoiler> your message *spoiler>
Just remove all these asterisk symbols. Try it.

< spoiler > .....content to hide..... < / spoiler >
(remove the spaces between < and >)

Thx Arpit. I know what you meant but "< /" without space gets interpreted in some other manner...

[HeyLucindaO!]

Thanks for sharing the tech hack... hopefully I remember to use it!!! It should be helpful in discussions. Cheers for that.

[Gorab]

You're welcome :)
