• Man is capable, by his nature, of great things but also of immense sacrifices…so we could briefly

describe what the movie "Me Before You" represents. Cute 26-year-old girl Lou Clark, totally out of
the patterns of the city where she lives, is looking for a job to support her family. That's how she ends
up being employed at the Traynor family mansion, where the young Will Traynor lives, as a company
for six months.

• The day she goes to the job interview, she finds out that she must be the companion of the 31-year-
old man who, due to a motorcycle accident, was paralyzed from the neck down. Before the accident
Will Trayner, as he says at one point, was a successful guy, a perfect athlete, full of life, a good man
with a very good life prospect having considering that he came from a very rich family.

• But all this goes on Saturday when he is involved in a motorcycle accident. Two years after the
accident we find Will Trayner sad, depressed, lonely, uncommunicative, with a justified hatred against
everything and everything, isolated in his room, waiting for the days to pass until the moment he
decided to leave this world.

• She had no idea that with the acceptance of this job, there would be a radical change in her life. Her
whole adventure will be like a roller coaster, from agony to ecstasy. From the beginning, when he had
to study the manual with precise instructions on how to interact with Will Trayner, he came to
establish with the young man's family a lot of activities, all meant to make his life more beautiful, and
later , to make him give up the idea of ending his life.

• During the six months spent together, a beautiful and atypical love story develops, step by step. The
sacrifice of both of them was commensurate with their situation. In her case, the sacrifice was to
accept Will's renunciation of having a life with her. As for him, the sacrifice made was to agree to go
out in public even at his ex-girlfriend's wedding.

• On the final night of the vacation, Lou kisses Will and declares her love for him, saying that she knows
about his plan but wants him to be with her. Although he loves her, too, Will says that he's going
through with it

• Eventually, Lou relents and decides to share Will's final moments with him at Dignitas, the assisted
suicide facility.

• Before his death, Will writes Lou a letter that specifically requests that it only be opened while Lou is a
Paris café. So she goes. The letter says that Will has left Lou a small amount of money so she can go
back to school and follow her dreams.

• It also expresses Will's sadness at causing her pain, though he hopes that she will emerge from the
other end of her grief as a better person.

• I fell in love with this book the moment I opened it and I couldn’t put it down until I was finished. Jojo
Moyes writes in a way that makes you feel connected to the characters and I got completely lost
within her words. The story may be about a subject that only some understand but she makes you
think about what would happen and how you’d feel in that type of situation. She addresses the topic
of human nature and how connecting with certain people will make you see life in a happier way.  I
went through every single emotion in this novel. It was a devastatingly beautiful and I have
recommended it to so many people and would recommend it to anyone who loves a realistic romance
but also just a beautiful story about humanity and the troubles of life.
