"Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.
What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.
Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.
What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time." ~synopsis from Goodreads

Me Before You in one word: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
This review will be slightly difficult because it was so amazing, and I just don't don't know what to say about it. Holy moly, it was fantastic. This is going to be a vague review so I do not spoil it and because the one feeling I felt is all I need to talk about: love.
Lou is one of my favorite female characters now. She's quirky and bubbly—she has a unique personality. She's lovable. She will make you laugh and smile! I absolutely adore her because she is not afraid to be herself. She is a little awkward, but I love that about her! I am awkward so I can relate a little. She gives the story life, in my opinion.
Will Traynor. Can someone bring in the tissues now? At the beginning, I thought of him as a complete a-hole, but I still loved him. I understood the reason why he was a grouch. He was in a wheelchair, and he could hardly use his own limbs! I would be negative if I was in his position. I am glad that Lou is the way she is because he needed someone like her. She's a ball of sunshine, and he is a negative nancy; they are suited perfectly for each other! Their friendship is beautiful. I love it. I just love this whole book, and it is difficult to talk about it without spoiling it!
Okay so this book was magnificent. I do not think this book contained any flaws. This book made me cry tears of joy and tears of sadness, which is probably the first book that has done so! Jojo Moyes knew how to crush my feelings from the very beginning of the book. It was not easy to hate the characters; I fell in love with Lou and Will from the very beginning!
If you want my opinion on the movie, it was also fantastic. The movie is very similar to the book, so if you enjoyed the book, you'll love the movie!
Peace out, Nerds
