Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

Of late, I'd been on a crazy Lisa Kleypas book frenzy. I'm a sucker for predictable romance novels where the hero is a brooding, hunky, muscled, rich man and the heroine is this gorgeous, curvy, blond-haired girl who's unaware of her own beauty. What can I say? I love fairy tales. :)

But I recently discovered this touching, atypical romance novel while looking for books to read on Amazon. I don't usually go for love stories that have unusual plots, but the description of Jojo Moyes' Me Before You sounded so interesting -- a girl who needed money takes a job as companion to a formerly outdoorsy, active man who's now a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair.


I loved the slow dance between the two characters, how they thought, and how they fell in love. It made me laugh and cry at the same time. It also made me think of Tin. This is definitely a book I'd want to read again.

    Hmm, I may have to try this one out. Love how us, filipinos, are hopeless romantics by nature! :) btw, I'm Kai. Just hopping by through my Ate Clare's blog. Look forward to coming by here more!
