Me Before You ends with the same outcome as the film's source novel by Jojo Moyes, who adapted the screenplay: Main character Will Traynor (Sam Claflin) decides to die by assisted suicide despite falling in love with his caregiver, Louisa Clark (Emilia Clarke). Is it the happy ending? No.
But perhaps most upsetting of all is how, despite all of this, Me Before You works on a certain level. You'll likely cry (in between eye-rolls) and be moved and root for the couple, for Lou, and for the idea of hope and renewed joy.
Though Will and Louisa go on an island vacation and sleep together in his bed, we never actually hear her say, “I love you.” But we don't need to — the look on her face says it all.
Before you start this book... be prepared to cry. You will cry happy tears and sad tears. You will smile, laugh, be devastated, ugly cry, and if your like me- you will love the journey this book took you on. This is a story of two people who meet each other by chance, and change each others lives forever.
What could be a story about the redemptive power of love instead insidiously and heartbreakingly ends as Traynor commits assisted suicide with Clark by his side. The film begins when Clark is let go from her job as a cafe waitress and is forced to look for new employment.
This is especially the case because the most resonant relationship in the novel, in many ways, is not Louisa and Sam, but Louisa and Will's troubled teenaged daughter, Lily. Lily, deeply unhappy, is desperately in need of love.
After You opens with the protagonist, Louisa Clark, working in an airport in London. In the time since Will Traynor's suicide, she has bought a flat with her inheritance money from Will but has been stuck in an unfulfilling job at an Irish-themed bar.
But unfortunately, even romance can't stop Will, and he ends up going through with the planned suicide, leaving Louisa a bunch of his money to “live boldly” while he rots.
When they return home, Will's parents are pleasantly surprised by his good physical condition. Louisa, however, resigns as his caretaker, and they understand that Will intends to end his life.
After You is a romance novel written by Jojo Moyes, a sequel to Me Before You. The book was first published on 29 September 2015 in the United Kingdom. A second sequel, Still Me, was published in January 2018. It continues the story of Louisa Clark after Will's death.
It looks in the film as if Will has tried to cut his wrists in a suicide attempt, though this would be physically impossible to do this due to his quadriplegia. It is in fact explained in the book that he ran himself in his wheelchair into a sharp edge multiple times.
The backlash to the movie is twofold: For starters, Will is played by an able-bodied actor (Sam Claflin) rather than an actual quadriplegic. And then there's the fact that he chooses to die, which many people say sends the wrong message about the value of a disabled person's life.
If you are one of those people – if you have, for example, actually committed to watching “The Fault in Our Stars” or “The Notebook” more than once – either endeavor an act of incomprehensible madness – then chances are you will enjoy “Me Before You.” And you will undoubtedly get a bit teary.
She only kissed Will Traynor after Patrick broke up with her and just because she went on trips with him and spent every spare minute with him, it didn't exactly mean that she was 'cheating. ' And even if she did or didn't, Patrick didn't deserve her.
Louisa is in a romantic relationship with Sam, a paramedic back home, at the start of the book; although she breaks things off with him and briefly sees Josh in New York, Sam and Louisa eventually reconcile by the end of the book.
