This would have helped alter my view, if slightly, on the mental health in this story. One more time, I understand that this is how someone who lead an active life before a life changing accident would likely feel, but I would have thought the Traynor’s could afford to send Will to speak with a therapist after his attempted suicide. I didn’t necessarily dislike the use of mental health in this book, but I didn’t like that Jojo Moyes basically made it seem like living life in a chair wasn’t worth living. I thought, without giving any spoilers, it could have been handled a bit better. What I didn’t like is how the depression was handled in this book. I understand how that could be depressing. And how could he be? I mean, he went from being on top of the world – travelling and living his life to the fullest – to being bound to his chair and house.

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. 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.
She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair-bound after an accident. Louisa Clark is an ordinary young woman living an exceedingly ordinary life-steady boyfriend, close family-who has never been farther afield than their tiny village. I have many thoughts on the book so let’s get started. I decided to grab Me Before You around mid-month because I’d been reading a lot of light hearted and fun books throughout the month of February and I, surprisingly, wanted a break from YA at this point in the month. When I finally realized my mistake, I headed over to Amazon and picked up a copy of Me Before You and After You so that I’d be ready to read Still Me when the time came. I say “mistakenly” because at that time I didn’t know it was the third book in a series.

Meanwhile, Louisa gets to know Sam, the uncle of one of the boys in her support group. However, she hates living with her mother, stepfather, and her half-brothers.

After her recovery, she enrolls in a support group in a church. Panicking, Louisa falls off the roof and severely injures herself. One night, she goes up to the roof of her residence to sit alone, when someone begins to talk to her.
