Why should you read Me Before You?
"When I finished this novel, I didn’t want to review it; I wanted to reread it. Which might seem perverse if you know that for most of the last hundred pages I was dissolved in tears... And yet, unlike other novels that have achieved their mood-melting powers...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." - Liesl Schillinger, New York Times
