Me Before You



I'm reading Me Before You for the 2nd time.  I read the book, went to see the movie and now I'm reading it again.  I'll put it on my list of favorites.  The story is great and I love the humor.  When books are made into movies there are bound to be changes because of the limited time. I hate when there are too many changes in the storyline.  There weren't many changes in this case but of course some things were cut out.  The actress was fantastic, even more lovable than the character in the book.  Book + Movie, A+.
This isn't a typical romance which is also why I love it.  I get frustrated with most romances because I think they belittle women. 

Will and Lou are polar opposites.  He is grouchy and very negative (understandable considering the life he had is lost) but she has the Pollyanna outlook on life.  Of course it takes a Pollyanna to change the attitude of someone whose spirits is as low as Will's.  The change in their relationship from dislike to love is realistic, unlike most romance novels.

What do you think?
