Review
“When I finished this novel, I didn't want to review it: I wanted to reread it....Moyes's story provokes tears that are redemptive, the opposite of gratuitous. Some situations, she forces the reader to recognize, really are worth crying over...with Lou and Will she has created an affair to remember.” New York Times Book Review
Review
“An unlikely love story....To be devoured like candy, between tears.” O, The Oprah Magazine
Review
“Me Before You is one you should read. After finishing Jojo Moyes' Me Before You, you grasp why the novel, a word-of-mouth sensation from Britain, has been sold to 28 countries...by turns funny and moving but never predictable.” USA Today
Review
“Funny, surprising and heartbreaking, populated with characters who are affecting and amusing....This is a thought-provoking, thoroughly entertaining novel that captures the complexity of love” People Magazine
Review
“READ IT AND WEEP: Heartbreak collides with humor in Jojo Moyes's Me Before You, about the romance between a quadriplegic and his hired caregiver.” Good Housekeeping
Review
“Masterful...a heartbreaker in the best sense....Me Before You is achingly hard to read at moments, and yet such a joy.” New York Daily News
Review
“There are books that you cannot put down. There are also books where you become so invested in the characters, you force yourself to stop reading to prolong the experience because you don't want the story to end, and that's what can happen when you read Jojo Moyes' latest book, Me Before You....Moyes writes well-developed characters, and it's impossible not to care about them. You'll find yourself laughing, smiling, feeling angry and, yes, crying. My only suggestion: Me Before You should be sold with a pack of tissues.” The Associated Press
Review
"A lovely novel, both nontraditional and enthralling." Publishers Weekly, starred review
Review
“Moyes' twisting, turning, heartbreaking novel raises provocative moral questions while developing a truly unique relationship between two people brought together by chance. With shades of David Nicholls' beloved One Day, Me Before You is the kind of book you simply can't put down — even when you realize you don't want to see it end....A big-hearted, beautifully written story that teaches us it is never too late to truly start living.” BookPage
