I am sure you all have heard of the motion picture "Me Before You" starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin. That movie was originally a book by Jojo Moyes. If you have never read the book I demand you to stop what you are doing and read it. Moyes wrote two sequels to that book titled "After you" and "Still Me" that are freaking amazing. The main character of the story is Louisa Clark who you can't help but fall in love with. Here is a snippet of the story as quoted from Jojo Moyes' website:


"They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . .

Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.

Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living."


When asked what my favorite book by Moyes' is I would have to say "The Girl you Left Behind" Moyes intertwines a modern day love story with a bit of heartache which she wraps

into a Paris love affair in World War I. I am a sucker for historical romance. This book has twists and turns you won't be able to predict. 10/10 you have to read it. (Linked on Amazon- just click on the title of the book. for $9. ;)


I am currently working through the entire list of Moyes' books because she has yet to let me down with the five that I have read. Here I will post her website with her list of books.
