Histoire
Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

Description
They had nothing in common until love gave them everything to lose.
Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life - steady boyfriend, close family - who has never been farther afield than her tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. 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.
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. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
A love story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn't have less in common - a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, what do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

Not for me
I bought this as part of the first in the series sale. It obviously was popular. I'm not a movie watcher, so I didn't realize it was a screen play too. My low ratings are not due to the author but the fact, I loathed the ending of this book. My motive for listening to books is to bring a little enjoyment or knowledge into my life. I am all about happy endings, be it the romance flourishes OR the criminal is caught! I thought this was supposed to be a sweet romance, and I got very caught up and attached to the characters, BUT the ending left my heart aching. I cried & cried, which I know some readers may like. I do NOT. I wish I would of researched the book a little more prior to spending my time listening to it.

A Journey Into the Unknown
This book starts with a simple bad luck story - in a very class-conscious country a "lower class" woman loses her menial restaurant job, which has helped support her family, and takes on a position as an "emotional" caregiver for a quadriplegic. His family has substantial economic resources and spares nothing in providing care for their impaired son; the protagonist, Louisa, is hired on, not as a medical care provider, but as a sort of lifestyle assistant, to improve the man's quality of life. This works until she learns that she is to be his babysitter to stop his suicide attempts - of which there has been at least one. She dislikes this premise when she learns of it but continues on to fulfill her contract, and Will's mood, appearance, and enjoyment of life gradually improve. She takes him on outings, to concerts, buys voice recognition software for his computer so that he can be part of the disabled community and form friendships, thus expanding the scope of his life.
At first I thought this would be predictably about how the able-bodied/impaired learn to relate, like each other and then fall in love. In this story, they do form a bond, of sorts, eventually, but it's not enough for Will to want to continue his life.
The story then moves on to considerations of assisted suicide, and asks the tough questions about quality of life and what level of quality is worth preserving. I won't spoil but the resolution of the story is handled with dignity and grace. Along the way, added to the mix are the emotional forces of those around Louisa and Will who have their own opinions and agendas.
Though well-written and full of laugh-out-loud moments, the book is not a front-runner on the audible home page, and I just happened to find it while browsing the "back room". The book truly deserves the 5 stars I've given it.
I would recommend a different title and cover design - both mislead the audible shopper towards the romantic and chick-fic genre and the story is so much more nuanced and complex. (Note: I am not disparaging chick-fic, and think it's a valid genre for entertainment purposes. But there are so many other reasons to read - learning how others live and handle life's challenges, appreciation of beautiful writing, virtual tourism and escape to other environments, handling conflict resolution, the list can go on.)
This is a terrific read, unconventional and unpredictable, and illustrative of larger questions than life in the present moment.

Will & Louisa - each has what the other one needs
Neither the cover nor the title of Me Before You give any real hint of the story within, but I was very pleasantly surprised by what a simply great story it is. Jojo Moyes tells the story of Will Traynor, wheelchair-bound quadriplegic, and Louisa Clark, his hired care assistant, two polar opposites who would not have met under ordinary circumstances. Will is a successful financier from an upper-class family, a man who lived a "large life", but after the accident that made him a quadriplegic, his chilly magistrate mother hires Louisa to help care for Will. Louisa is an average, unintellectual girl, part of a close-knit, working class family that desperately needs the income from her job. She initially thinks she is in far over her head, but the family's financial situation leaves Louisa no choice. After some false starts, Will and Lou forge an interesting relationship, one where they both seem to get something that they very much need.
I won't recount any more plot details because this is the point where the book really starts to get interesting. The premise of Me Before You sounded very interesting to me, but I initially resisted reading it because I was afraid it would be a chick-lit romance (not my favorite). Me Before You is so much more and well worth reading.

Where Do I Even Start?
In my self-description I wrote that I’m often drawn to heart-wrenching books. Well, this one certainly qualifies. If you read the synopsis of this story it will tell you that Me Before You is about a quadriplegic and the relationship that he forms with his care giver and how an unexpected love blossoms between them. Fine. This is indeed the narrative. But I’d tell you that what it’s really about is the impossible. (And not in the nice, hopeful “he did the impossible!” way. I mean in the wretched way.) I’ve never listened to a book that made me feel more trapped and claustrophobic. This is a real-life horror story about people who desperately want something they simply can’t have, and about differing perspectives that can never be reconciled. There’s a creepy old maze in the town where this novel is set that serves as a central point of imagery. And that’s what Jojo Moyes’ book feels like exactly: a tangle of directions, an unsolvable problem, knowing that there's no way out. How do you move forward if you keep turning circles on yourself because there is no acceptable answer? This book is simply crushing and will make you feel grateful for every moment of happiness you’ve ever had in your life. And yet, please don’t let the depressing picture I’ve painted scare you off. I can’t say this book is uplifting: it’s not. But it is revealing and instructive and even occasionally lovely.
Given the heavy subject matter, I don’t think I could stand it if Me Before You wasn’t perfectly narrated, and luckily it is - by a brilliant multicast. Though the content of the story is nothing like The Help, the multiple-perspective casting here is as authentic and well-executed.
I recommend this one highly to anyone up for an emotional challenge. However, there were a handful of side characters whose viewpoints just didn’t strike me as valid, or who could have been more sophisticatedly rendered. It’s only for this reason that am I not giving this book a full five stars.

Oh, for goodness sake, just listen to this
Me Before You is an utterly indescribable book. The publisher's description put me off for quite a long time. But, all the glowing Audible reviews persuaded me to take an aural gander. OMG! Poignant, funny, captivating. Jojo Moyes is a writer to follow. She tackled a subject about which no one really wants to read, and made it an infinitely empathetic, oh so English, witty, inspiring tale of courage, reminding us of the amazing, magical gift another bestows on us when they truly listen and make an effort to understand—really grasp—who we are at our very core.
The narraters were very good, especially Susan Lyons who does the main character. You will finish it, and sigh, and want so much to recommend it to others, but alas, Me Before You totally defies portrayal. All you'll be able to say is, "It's remarkable."

Entertaining and Engaging Chick Lit
Fun story of funky, flighty Louisa undertaking a new and temporary position caring for a quadra paraplegic. Will lived a full, exciting life until a freak, ironic accident confined him to the chair. The plotline is fairly predictable, but worth your time for a fun and easy listen.
What I liked most was the surprising complexity of the characters. Lou/Louisa was open and honest about her frustrations of caring for an "ass" as she calls him and displays a mixture of emotions: easy-going, frustrated, complacent, and spirited. Will was stubborn, pragmatic and honest with his assessment of Lou and the situation, class system, and more details I won't give away. Moyes paints both characters with rich detail. I could picture Will down to his shirt, haircut, and even the smell of his skin ( I know that sounds creepy) but enjoyed the experience and even shed a tear at the end.
Jo Jo Moyes latest book, "The Girl You Left Behind" is an excellent read.

Awful!
Being in a wheelchair myself, I found this story insulting. The negative view the author has of someone who is paralyzed and can’t enjoy life obviously was hurtful and demeaning. Please don’t think this is how most people in wheelchairs feel!!!

Berührend, ergreifend, zum Nachdenken
Zunächst einmal zu den Sprechern. Diese sind absolut super zu verstehen und haben eine klare Aussprache.
Das Buch bzw. die Geschichte selbst ist eine Geschichte über Selbstbestimmung, Liebe und Freundschaft. Das Buch greift das Thema Sterbehilfe auf und ist daher sicher nicht für jedermann geeignet. Die Geschichte selbst ist fesselnd. Ich konnte nicht mehr aufhören und musste unbedingt wissen wie es endet. Ich habe gelacht, geweint und mich gefragt, ob ich in Wills Situation das Recht haben möchte zu entscheiden. Es geht um das Leben, wie man es sieht und bewertet, welche Dinge einem wichtig sind. Ein Buch, dass nicht spurlos verklingt nach dem es zu ende ist - für mich einfach großartig!

Ich habe den Roman gelesen, den Film gesehen und jetzt das Hörbuch gehört. Einfach sehr schön! Und auf englisch noch schöner.

Bewegend
Die Geschichte von der Freundschaft einer Person im Rollstuhl mit einem Helfer kennen wir ja aus "Ziemlich beste Freunde", diese hier ist aber anders. Bewegend, spannend wird die Geschichte von fantastischen Sprechern erzählt, vor allem die Hauptsprecherin, die auch die männlichen Stimmen sehr gut interpretiert. Das Englisch ist nicht schwierig, zumal man es sich auf die langsamste Stufe "drehen" kann, damit man alles mitbekommt. Sehr empfehlenswert für Leute die gern auf englisch hören wollen und sich nicht sicher sind ob sie alles verstehen werden. Ich habe viel geweint aber auch gelacht und konnte am Ende gar nicht mehr davon ablassen. Hören!!!!

Very good
A very nice book nicely read by Susan Lyons and Anna Bentink (not so nicely by the male narrators - but their parts were short)

Abgedroschen und Vorhersehbar
Diese schwierige Thematik hätte eine bessere Erzählung verdient. Alles sehr vorhersehbar und mehr langweilig als anregend.
