Me Before You

A (Frankly Negative) Micro-Review

Me Before You deserves credit for evoking a visceral reaction from me. The book is ableist, even ignoring the ending. The story didn't dive deeply enough into any real trauma (such as Lou's sexual assault) and treated Will like a vehicle for overcoming Lou's issues. It's a tone deaf romance.
