Me Before You isn't what I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be one of those all time love stories that ends in tragedy and I would be sobbing. I did find that it was really easy to get lost in the story and ended up reading two nights in a row until 2 a.m. (& I did cry...) 
 Lou was a very likable character. I did find the fact that she is a bit of screw up to her family to be unfounded. She basically takes care of everyone financial and is a loyal girlfriend. Why did they act like she couldn't do anything? 
 I thought that the relationship between Lou and Will was lovely. I genuinely laughed several times at Lou's sarcastic timing. I didn't feel like the book read as a love story as much as it did a story of true friendship and almost wish that she would have just let it be. Why do we need sex for intimacy to matter and especially in this case when this character can not do those things anyway? 
 I get why Will did what he did. He lived a full life and this is something that he couldn't overcome. Normally I would end that thought there. It is a book of fiction and this is how the story ended. However, I do pause b/c I don't like that the message this book ultimately sends is that life isn't worth living if you have a disability. I can't help but wonder if we would have been allowed to see this story (or portions of it) from Will's POV that it may have changed my mind?
