i still cant get over the end
I loved this book so much. As sad as it made me, you did an excellent job of holding the reader's hand along the way. Thank you.
It's an amazing book that changed my life forever. But we did get Will's POV, right? In the prologue? I think your explanation makes perfect sense. It would have stolen the tension. You're an amazing writer and I love your voice and characters.
Hola soy de Venezuela y me tocó leer tu libro en PDF ya que aún no los venden aquí, quiero decirte que esta historia me llegó al corazón y que amé a todos los personajes con sus virtudes y defectos, debo admitir que guardaba esperanzas de que Will desistiera... pero lo entiendo y aunque lloré a mares creo que fue un final más que perfecto! :´(
After reading Gone Girl and Girl on the Train, Me Before You revived my hope for this generation. Characters jumped off the page and, yes, tears at the end.
Having Wills point of view at the end would have been nice though. Right after Lou left the airport to go home, he could have been reflecting on his choices and tell the reader what exactly was going through his mind. I read at least 3 books per week, and your book was literally the only writing that has changed me! Thank you so much <3
I think a book from Wills point of view would be great. Even though it would give some of the plot away, there are many books that have 2 points of views, and it will say to read book#1 first. So I don't think it would be a bad idea at all!
I loved this book. I cried like a baby. I have already read the second book. I hope there will be a 3rd.

This was the first book of yours that i've read and it's amazing! Ok... honestly, i read it because there's a movie of it coming up soon.
I cried at the end, just like almost everyone else who've read it and loved every minute of the story. I was still hoping the ending would be different but the actual one is just....how it should be. Excellent story. Thank you for writing it.
How about a different book with Will's pov? I absolutely loved this book and I too cried like a baby!
I just feel that a third book from his point of view would be amazing because you could start at the point of the crash and instead of skipping 2 years, you could tell how he was adjusting at that time. Talk about his decision to attempt suicide at home and what put the thought of physician assisted suicide in his mind. Also did he ever have any change to his thoughts and maybe he was changing but that last time getting sick was his final giving up point? I can't get this book out of my head. I knew what was going to happen because I read the description for after you and started crying but I was hoping it was going to happen because he was sick and not thought PAS.
I can understand you not wanting to write in Will's POV at the later stages of the book - we need to wonder whether Louisa's strategies are working. But I felt a weakness of the book was that we don't get a chance to FEEL the depth of Will's despair and determination to die in the early stages. You insert the odd chapter from other POV's at various points - even a single chapter at the start from Will would've made a big difference for me.
