Me Before You | Book vs Movie | Honest Review!


I am clearly not in the mood of taking #flatlay photo, lol.
So all of the images are from Google!

Me Before You, written by Jojo Moyes is now in the cinema!


I am the kind of girl, who will read the book first before I actually go and watch 
the movie.
For example, The Fault In Our Star, Where Rainbow Ends (Love, Rosie) etc.
Most importantly, the trailers play the most significant role'to make me read the book, lol.

A book lover would totally understand the need to imagine
the story, and so I did the same thing.

Me Before You (Book = Movie)

The descriptions in the book were pretty detailed,
which it made me easier to imagine stuff.
Well, I personally like this story because every character changes throughout the plot.
Louisa or Lou,
the heroin of the story was a very chatty person.
She's full of life, she's a happy-go-lucky and cheerful girl.
She tried so hard to cheer Will Traynor,  who had to spend his life on the wheelchair after an accident.
Lou's a selfless girl,
she sacrificed her  bright future for her family
and she sacrificed her time to make the last 6 months that Will had to make them precious.
After so many plannings she made,
they finally went for a vacation,
they really had a good time together
but Lou could never change Will's decision to end his life after that 6 months.
She thought she had given him the life he wanted,
but she was wrong.
Instead, Will had given her so much of new memories in her life.

Will told her to live.
To simply live her life.

The actor and actress had played the role really well.
They just have great chemistry together.
The affection shown in the movie was exactly like how I read it.





Me Before You ( Movie < Book)
In the book, Lou joined online conversation,
in order to help her finding ideas on how to make the best of Will's last 6 months.
In the movie, it skipped that part, but it wasn't that important tho.
When I read the last part of the book, I cried my heart out.
The character that I enjoyed imagining died, I mean, it hurt so badly.
But when I watched the movie,
I guess due to the pre-knowledge that I had,
I didn't cry as bad.
Regardless, 
Jojo Moyes has done a really great job.
She almost beats Cecilia Ahern as my most favourite author.
I have yet to read her other books!


One of the most significant items of the book and movie!
