I Before You is a women’s fiction novel. It is the opening title of the Me Before You Trilogy. The book is authored by Jojo Moyes. She is an English journalist, screenwriter, and romance novelist. The Girl You Left Behind is a beautiful novel by the author that you must try. Moreover, Paris for One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes will also make a good literary experience.

You will find multiple narrators reading this story. The names of the narrators are Susan Lyons, Steven Crossley, Anna Bentinck, Andrew Wincott, Owen Lindsay, and Alex Tregear. All of them were good. Susan Lyons deserves a special mention here for doing the main character with so much perfection.

Louisa Clark had the reputation of a simple and ordinary girl who was living an extremely ordinary life. She has a steady boyfriend and close family. All of them were never known to be afield farther than the small village where they lived. She took on the badly needed job where she had to work for Will Traynor, the ex-Master of the Universe. He met an accident and since then was wheelchair bound. Will was always known for living a huge life. It was dominated by extreme sports, big deals, and worldwide travel. Then he was very much sure that he couldn’t just live the way he was.

Will was bossy and moody but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves. Soon, all of his happiness meant a lot more to her than she expected. Then the time when she learned that Will had a few shocking plans she set out to show him that life was still worth living.

The story is solid for this book but at the same time, it was quite insensitive towards those who have any physical disabilities.
