Me Before You

Description

Discover the love story that captured 21 million hearts . . . from the author of The Last Letter from Your Lover, now a major motion picture

The No. 1 bestselling international phenomenon and major film adaptation.

Will needed Lou as much as she needed him, but will her love be enough to save his life?

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 teashop 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.

‘This tale of love-against-the odds . . . breaks your heart one minute, only to send it soaring again. Keep the tissues close!’ – Good Housekeeping

‘Destined to be the novel that friends press upon each other more than any other next year, it is a tremendous example of what commercial fiction can do when in the hands of an expert. Moyes does a majestic job of conjuring a cast of characters who are charismatic, credible and utterly compelling; Lou and Will are a couple who readers will take to their hearts as they did One Day’s Emma and Dex’ – The Independent

‘A perceptive and moving tale’ – The Independent
