Me Before You
I thought I was too busy, too preoccupied to read something like this these days. But suddenly I found myself sobbing over Lou, 3 am last night.
It was an awesome experience to read “Me before You”. It was nothing extraordinary though. No brilliant language, just simple English as you and I could easily understand. There were no mysterious characters who would quiz the mind, just the average characters. Yet it was enjoyable.

There were plot holes. Lou did extremely stupid things sometimes. Characters were too flat. But its a light reading where you don’t think about the details and just enjoy the story. And I found myself secretly wishing that Will would change the decision somehow!
I read halfway through the sequel, “Me after you” and it felt like a fan fiction. Sequels always seem to be less appealing than the original story. So I’m not going to finish it.
I haven’t seen the movie, but from the trailer it looks like a good adaptation. Should watch that later.
Recommend to anyone who require light reading in the middle of a busy schedule.
