Me Before You, Jojo Moyes. Kindle.

Hopeful, sorrowful, challenging. 

This complicated romance was complicit in making me fall in love, and then cruelly reminding me that not every tale can have a picture-perfect ending. This was a thought-provoking exploration of the right to die debate and what it means to really live on one’s own terms. Moyes’ compelling story serves as a reminder that, sometimes, our own attempts at selflessness are really selfishness disguised by fear and love.

Favorite Quotation: “I hadn’t realized that music could unlock things in you, could transport you to somewhere even the composer hadn’t predicted. It left an imprint in the air around you, as if you carried its remnants with you when you went.”
