A carefully constructed tale of a paraplegic man who meets a girl who has been employed to try to prevent him committing suicide for the 6 months he has committed to his parents to staying alive until he can legally go to a euthanasia facility in Switzerland. A reserved and sheltered 26 year old challenges his dark moods and manages to get him doing things beyond his living quarters beside his parents home. Obviously thoroughly researched as to the impacts of paraplegia on the body and the mind. Beautifully developed story of the blossoming of the girl while drawing away dark moods from the man, even if the ultimate outcome was his death. ( ) I would not call this a romance novel. While there is a teeny tiny bit of romance, the story revolves more around the idea of loving and living life to the fullest. "Wait, Rochelle! Did you just say a book about a couple where one of them decided to pursue assisted suicide is about loving and living life?!?" Yes. In short, the recently handicapped man teaches his caregiver to live life to the fullest because you never know when you won't be able to do what you love anymore. Through his prodding and pushing and her subsequent sassing back they fall in love. It's a sweet story and really quite the cautionary tale. But if you're hoping for a happy ending, it doesn't happen. That's where the book looses me a bit. I have strong morals and suicide of any kind is wrong. However, I hope and pray that I NEVER have to know the kind of mental and emotional pain that is displayed in Will Trayner's character. It's unimaginable for me and because of that I could not cast judgment upon someone in that position. The story is well written and a beautifully painful view of what life could be like in any of the character's lives. But don't pick this book up for its "romantic" story line.

It’s a curious phenomenon that in this digital age — in which thoughts that once emerged quietly and gradually on paper have been overtaken by instantaneous visual and audio impressions that are swiftly taken in without really being absorbed — the rapt viewer sometimes needs to be jarred, slowed down and forced to look inward. In “Me Before You,” circumstances lead noncontemplative people to contemplation...Moyes’s heroine, if Lou can be so styled, may not be heroic; her male counterpart may be nobody’s idea of a leading man — and yet with Lou and Will she has created an affair to remember.

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Si le temps nous est compté... Lou est une fille ordinaire qui mène une vie monotone dans un trou paumé de l'Angleterre dont elle n'est jamais sortie. Quand elle se retrouve au chômage, elle accepte un contrat de six mois pour tenir compagnie à un handicapé. Malgré l'accueil glacial qu'il lui réserve, Lou va découvrir en lui un jeune homme exceptionnel, brillant dans les affaires, accro aux sensations fortes et voyageur invétéré. Mais depuis l'accident qui l'a rendu tétraplégique, Will veut mettre fin à ses jours. Lou n'a que quelques mois pour le faire changer d'avis." Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
