With one of the central characters being a quadriplegic, Me Before You is not exactly an uplifting story that provides the best escape from the crazy months of newborn motherhood.The story is touching and entertaining though.
Louisa Clark is a local girl who has never left her small tourist home town in England and settles into a rhythm, if not a rut, with her family and boyfriend.
Overshadowed by her intelligent and younger sister Katrina, Louisa has never been deemed as someone with a future outside of small town life.
When the cafe that she has worked at for years closes and she is made redundant, Louisa must find another position.
With limited options given her lack of education and experience, she accepts a position with the wealthy Traynor family, caring for Will Traynor, a former London financial wiz.
Despite their vastly different social backgrounds, experiences and outlook on life, Louisa and Will strike up a friendship as they both struggle with their pasts and attempt to work out their futures.
