What do you think?!

I can't even.....there simply are no words.....

I am curious about what you all think about Will's decision? And Lou's attempt to "save him".....

I knew going into this book that I was going to cry at the end, but I was so not prepared for the powerful effect it had on me. Wow. Me Before You by JoJo Moyes is an adult novel with the power and FEELS of wonderful books like If I Stay and The Lovely Bones--for me. The controversy, the questions Moyes raises make this an incredible thought-provoking novel that I want to talk to others about to hear what they think!!! 

I respect Lou and her attempt to "save" Will. I see so much of myself in her, especially in the fact that I would so very much love to have a pair of yellow and black, bumble bee tights, as well as in the fact that I want everyone around me to be happy and to see life as valuable and worth living.

At the same time, I don't know that I think Will is so very wrong to want to do what he wants to do. I can't even imagine what life must be like confined to a wheelchair, to have to have someone even reposition my legs for me, not to be able to roll over or readjust myself at will, or even to scratch and itch by myself--not to mention having to be spoon-fed every single thing I eat and wearing a catheter 24/7--even if/when I go out in public. And the sicknesses Will has to deal with on a constant basis as a direct result of his injury and/or the fact that he isn't able to move around.....My heart aches for what people in Will's situation have to live with.

I can't help wondering....if I was in Will's shoes, would I feel as he does--that life simply isn't worth living if I can't live it as I did BEFORE.......

How about you???? What do you think?!

And yes, I started reading Me Before You immediately after seeing the new movie trailer. In fact, the movie trailer hadn't even finished playing before it was downloading to my Kindle app on my phone!!!! I am very excited for the movie to come out. It looks like it's actually going to do justice to the book. I read that Moyes helped write the screenplay, so I expect that will make a huge difference in taking this amazing book to the big screen.
