Oh no, I just started reading this two days ago. Not sure if it will count here?

I finished Me Before You and rated it 5 stars. It’s been recommended to me before by a friend so I had planned on reading it for a while. As expected, I loved it! I knew from a few chapters in that the tears would be flowing by the end. What set the book apart from some other romance books I’ve read is that it wasn’t filled with fluff. There are good moments and there are bad moments, there is a relatable main character, and we were also able to read from the POV of a few others, which did a lot to humanize their behaviors and choices. This made the answers less black and white and blurred the lines between right and wrong. I’ve read a lot of reviews saying the main character is unrealistic, but I say there are totally 27 year olds out there who don’t know what they are doing with their lives or never planned/thought they could go out and travel the world. I read this one really fast, but I found myself trying to slow myself down to savor the story longer. Good thing it’s part of a series. Highly recommended!
IT really was a sweet book :) glad you loved it
Mod
I think I'm going to pick up the second one soon. :)
Mod
There is a third one coming out too! Still Me its coming out soon I made my mum watch it last night and she loved it but thought it was so sad
Mod
I’m glad the movie was good! I noticed that Will is played by Finnick from the Hunger Games and Lou is played by Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones 🙃 It’s weird seeing her in another role for me lol.
^^^She’s sooo cute in it!! And so is he ;)
Mod
So I went to the library yesterday to get our first one,
and there’s a wait list from here to China. Probably stay that way now it just won a bunch of awards last night for the tv series :/

@Rishabh I am sorry you didn't like it! Definitely not a book for everyone and that is totally a-okay. I hope one of the future Glowing Rating books is more your cup of tea. :)

Sometimes though if a heroine has to be smart and she is being a dumdum I will envision slapping her in the face but that's it ;) :D
“Dumdum” lmaooooooooo :D
Hahaha I think I just found my favourite word :D
I read December’s choice
in a day and a half and rated it four stars. This is catagorized as chick lit so I am surprised I liked this as much as I did. But it was easy to read, an engaging story, and characters that even if they aren’t completely likable, you still want to root for them. I liked the set up of the murder....every chapter ended with quotes from outside characters describing the events of the book but they all had twists to them, or rather interpretations of how people perceived how those events happened. But you never got quotes from the handful of main characters so you go thru the entire book not knowing who the murder victim is. Kind of cool set up. I already had a couple of this author’s books in my tbr anyhow but now I’ll read them for sure.
