Me before you jojo moyes book review5/10/2023 The book is not badly-written, but it’s not great prose either, it just moves the story along. So, that’s the story, and I won’t ruin the ending for you, but there’s not much else to it. The story takes on a more serious tone as he considers ending his life at a assisted suicide facility due to his condition. She tries to help him to appreciate life again, they begin to care for one another, etc. He’s bitter and she needs work, so she takes a position as his caretaker. He’s handsome, wealthy and, sadly, paralyzed due to an accident not too long ago due to his adventurous ways. She’s poor, plain looking, unemployed and a bad dresser. It’s a straightforward story, free of any subplots or main side characters. But even as someone who has no problem admitting that she loves well-written chick lit and a nice love story, this book is just not very good nor particularly unique. I feel a little bad saying this since I’m always loathe to discount female writers just because a story includes a romantic story line, but honestly, the material is pretty thin. To start, Me Before You is probably more accurately described as Chick Lit rather than actual, you know, literature. So, this book was all over the bestseller lists and has amazing ratings on Amazon.
