Me before you

hi so the book I read is called “me before you”. i’m writing this blog from my phone at my grandma’s house and it’s a super small screen so i’m sorry for the grammatical errors, Also there is a spoiler in this blog so if you are interested in reading me before you, don’t read this. So I read a book titled “Me before you” written by Jojo Moyes. This novel takes place in modern times in the united kingdom, following the life of, working 26 year old, Louisa Clark. She comes from a low class family and has to work a lot in order to support them. Her income accounts for more than half of their  funds, so they depend on her salary a lot. One day, the bakery she worked at for eight years shuts down, unexpectedly, leaving her unemployed. She is desperately scrambling for a job and finds a job as a caretaker for young, successful, Will Traynor. He is a disabled quadriplegic because of a motor cycle accident that occurred two years prior. He was once a very active man who loved dangerous stunts aand lived for the thrill of sports such as sky diving, cliff diving, and many more thrilling activities. After his accident his fiancé left him and he became depressed. Lou soon starts her job as a caretaker for Will and obviously the job has it’s challenges. He is unwilling to receive help and bitter because he knows he needs it. He feels he’s not really alive anymore because he can’t do anything that makes him feel alive. He contemplates being euthanized because of how miserable his life is and made a deal with his mother to wait six more months. She hires Lou in an attempt to get him to rethink the euthanasia. They spend six months together, going on trips and doing fun things that they can do. She begs him to stay but he knows he can’t because this isn’t the life he was supposed to live and in the end he gets euthanized.
