Me Before You By Jojo Moyes

A warm hello to all my friends and all the readers,

Today, I am going to write my opinion about a book I just finished reading. It is realy hard to start writing, I do not know from where to start and where to finish, also don't want to make a proper review as my advice is to buy and read it. It is a book you can dip in and out of once you have read it. The book made me laugh and cry. There were so many sad and emotional parts in this book (I remember how I was reading in train and there were some emotional parts and my tears were running down my face, I did not know what to do and closed the book).  I have not stopped thinking about main characters :Will Traynor and Louisa Clark since I finished the book. It will stay with me for a very long time...
A good book has no ending ...
Some of my favorite lines:

“Some mistakes... Just have greater consequences than others. But you don't have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. You, Clark, have the choice not to let that happen.” 


“All I can say is that you make me... you make me into someone I couldn't even imagine. You make me happy, even when you're awful. I would rather be with you - even the you that you seem to think is diminished - than with anyone else in the world.” 

“I will never, ever regret the things I've done. Because most days, all you have are places in your memory that you can go to.” 

“I thought, briefly, that I would never feel as intensely connected to the world, to another human being, as I did at that moment.” 

“You can only actually help someone who wants to be helped.” 

“I kissed him, trying to bring him back. I kissed him and let my lips rest against his so that our breath mingled and the tears from my eyes became salt on his skin, and I told myself that, somewhere, tiny particles of him would become tiny particles of me, ingested, swallowed, alive, perpetual. I wanted to press every bit of me against him. I wanted to will something into him. I wanted to give him every bit of life I felt and force him to live.” 

“ And I don't want to look at you every day, to see you naked,to watch you wandering around the annexe in your crazy dresses and not...not be able to do what I want with you. Oh, Clark,if you had any idea what I want to do to you right now.And I...i can't live with that knowledge. I can't. It's Not who I am. I can't be the kind of man who just...accepts.” 

“I worked out what would make me happy, and I worked out what I wanted to do, and I trained myself to do the job that would make those two things happen” 

“I held him close and said nothing, all the while telling him silently that he was loved. Oh, but he was loved.” 
Only the last part of the letter 
I strongly recommend you to read this book. It is a moving story about life, the human spirit, love and family...
Have a good Thursday and enjoy every moment!!!
Much love
Liuba

  2. That book sounds lovely! I love that books can "transport" us into a different world at once. I just finished reading a book and, I too, couldn't stop thinking about the main characters for days...I wish it never ended! ;-)

  7. “You can only actually help someone who wants to be helped.” Asta cred si eu, e unul din motivele pentru care nu intind mana sa sara peste o groapa si sa se aseze in fata alteia... mai bine sa stea pe loc, sa astupe groapa caci nu se stie niciodata cand va trebui sa mearga si inapoi.
