They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose . . .
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has barely been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex–Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.
Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
A Love Story for this generation and perfect for fans of John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

Now I felt the breeze whirling around my ears, the weight of his hand on the small of my back, my clogs unusually light on my feet. He carried the scents of tobacco, aniseed, and something male that left me a little short of breath. I don’t know what it was. I had drunk little, so I could not blame the wine. It’s not as

Some sky?” “I don’t know. What do you normally do?” “I don’t do anything, Miss Clark. I can’t do anything anymore. I sit. I just about exist.” “Well,” I said, “I was told that you have a car that’s adapted for wheelchair use.” “And you’re worried that it will stop working if it doesn’t get used every

That’s it, isn’t it?” “No. That’s not it.” “Which is why you didn’t care about my qualifications.” “I thought you were bright and cheerful and different. You didn’t look like a nurse. You
open, and he had looked almost blinded by gratitude. Now, looking back, I couldn’t even remember having a discussion with him about money. He suggested a weekly wage, I agreed, and once a year he told me he’d upped it a bit, usually by a little more than what I would have asked for. What did people ask in interviews anyway? Syed had said there was a male caregiver who covered his “intimate needs” (I shuddered at the phrase). The secondary caregiver’s job was, he said, “a little unclear at this
green oak, and he showed me some of the work done by the previous man. You wouldn’t believe it. Shocking. He said he was very impressed by my work.” He was animated, more so than I had seen him for months. Mum had appeared beside him. She was wearing lipstick, and her good pair of heels. “There’s a van. He gets his own van. And the pay is good, Lou. It’s more than your dad was getting at the furniture factory.” She was looking up at him as though he were some kind of all-conquering hero. Her
