Will Clark–once an active sportsman and businessman– has been injured in an accident and is a quadriplegic–in a wheelchair and bitterly unhappy about his circumstances. Into his life comes Louisa Clark–a quiet young working class woman whose previous job was working as a waitress until the closing of the cafe. Due to the financial circumstances of her parents, Louisa is forced to look for any employment she can find, and she takes a position as Will’s caretaker. His mother hopes that Louisa can devise a way to life Will’s spirits and involve him in life again. Unsure about her role, Louisa realizes that “Shoved up so hard against someone else’s life forces you to rethink your idea of who you are.” Louisa becomes more assertive and expands her interests, thanks to Will’s influence. Their unique relationship grows and challenges Louisa’s perceptions of herself and what she can accomplish with her life.  In Me before You, Moyes has created a surprising beautiful love story, both funny and heartbreaking–a thought-provoking story about the meaning and value of life. This engaging, touching and powerful novel will stay with you long after finishing the last page (and probably after finishing a box of kleenex as well!!)
