Just finished reading #54

Me before you - Jojo Moyes

I managed to squeeze Jojo in between Christian and Anastasia (more about them later).  My two besties both recommended this little tear jerker and I am so pleased I read it.  The type is large which is always appealing to me as I have to wear glasses to read these days...bugger.  Anyway, when I saw the big writing I thought how cool, no glasses.  Alas, not to be.  Instead it was just fuzzy big writing.  Back to the story. 


Louisa Clark is a mid 20's woman in a small town in England with a bit of a nothing life.  She has potential but no dreams.  Will on the other hand has dozens of dreams and a great big life behind him.  Sadly he has been made a quadriplegic by an accident and is living in his parents home.  Living is not really how he sees it, going from an action man to a deflated image of what he used to be. 

I don't want to ruin the story as it is too good to do that.  The relationship between Lou and Will is prickly and feisty and full of excellent dialogue.  Lou's family is great too.  I loved this book.  It really is one of those very easy reads that draws you in and envelopes you.  I had to sneak off and read it at every spare moment.  It is a bit of a tissue grabber.
