  So I hardly ever post book reviews but it suddenly seemed like a good idea when one of my instagram followers suggested it. I'm not much of a reader at least not recently since I've been busy with other stuffs but I've been eager to watch the Me Before You movie but after getting several disheartening spoilers, I opted for the book. Here's my thought on the book.

  I finished reading 859 pages around 2:36am lol I can't even get out of bed right now. Hmm ok where do I start from?

The book lived slightly up to the hype and basically I think the whole thing was centered around a person's right to die. Despite the fact it was well brilliantly written, there was a constant debate in my head...was the Writer right in killing off Will's character? Should it have had a happy ending?

   I like the fact the writer tried to be as realistic as possible....there was a part in the book where one of the characters said this wasn't exactly a Hollywood movie but I felt like despite it being realistic, it did not exactly giving hope to disabled people.
  I mean whats the whole point of 'when there's life, there is hope'...letting them know they could still live, do things, be happy and who knows maybe fall in love...I get the writer tried to show that with the presence of Louisa and her bubbly spirit, the whole vacation idea but it still felt like it wasn't enough. 

  On the other hand, there were times I could understand the Writer & Will's decision to end his own life...its difficult adapting to a new you...a diminished version of yourself, relying on someone, losing everything you once were and accepting what you no longer can be and having constant health issues... What was the guarantee he would have lived more than 10 years...he was suffering not just physically but mentally and I could literally feel his pain as a reader.
  But I'm still very much against euthanasia which means mercy killing, a lot of countries don't condone it under moral and religious grounds... Yes he was a quadrilegic with several health issues but it wasn't like he was terminally ill and even if...it didn't just seem like the right choice...its supposed to be a romantic book with happy ending for Christ sake! Then why was I getting the fault in our stars vibe though in contrast, one of the characters in the latter was terminally ill.

Aside from the whole euthanasia thing, I realised the book was slightly different from the movie...in the book Will's parents weren't so strong and close, his father was having an affair with a red haired and he finally left his wife after Will's death. Will had a sister Georgina who was against his decision..... There was also the whole Louisa moving into Patrick's house and moving into Will's house which was pretty much absent in the movie, also the fact Patrick, her boyfriend, told the reporters about Will and  another significant thing that was absent in the movie was the Maze. 
  In the book, it seemed Louisa was assaulted & possibly gang raped in the past and her sister, Treena found her but they never spoke about it and she told Will about this but that was vividly absent in the movie but all in all, I'll rate the book 7/10. Feel free to drop comments.
