Me Before You

I very much enjoyed this romantic story Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.  Louisa Clark has lost her job at a bakery in a small English town and is desperate to find another position.  She gets a job as a companion to a wealthy quadriplegic, Will Traynor, for a six month contract.  The position has been arranged by Will's mother and Will has a carer to attend to his "personal needs".  At first the relationship between Will and Louisa is strained, but that changes.  Will became a quadriplegic as a result of a traffic accident two years previously and has become withdrawn.  Early into Louisa's contract, she learns the true reason for her employment and she becomes more involved in finding excursions that she can take Will on.  She discovers the difficulties in taking a quadriplegic anywhere.  The rest of the story I will leave you to discover for yourself, so as not to be a "spoiler". 5/5
