Me Before You

Before you all get mad at me... 3 stars does mean that I liked Me Before You, but I wasn't overly enthralled. I just thought that it felt flat and cliché by the end. I mean, it was a good story of an impossible love and the inspiration to truly live your life well. But there was still a lot of emotion lacking in this book - it should have made me sob. But it didn't. And I was left thinking... aww that was cute.

I loved Will's character. He had so much emotional depth to help you understand his constant battle with reconciling his life that was and his life that is. And Louisa had some depth but I found her character development lacking. I never really felt everything, I just understood the motions as she went through them. I wanted to be a little more inside her head, I guess.

Also, I absolutely hated Louisa's family... they are the most self-centered people, almost unrealistically so. They constantly berate her, and I almost stopped reading because I hated them so much at the beginning.

But I'm not mad that I read this book. Do I think I would have been missing out if I hadn't read it? NO.
