Book review: Me before you

About a year ago, I stumbled across a book called "Me before you", written by Jojo Moyes. It wasn't a new book, seeing as it came out in 2012, but with the upcoming movie inspired by the book, I figured now would be a good time to post my review of the book!

Summary
'Me before you' is the story of Lou, a young woman who is in dire need of a new job when she loses the job she has had since she was a teenager. Nobody seems to be hiring, until she gets invited for an interview at the Trainor manor. The job description? Taking care of a disabled man full time. Figuring it would be an old man, she goes on the interview, only to realize that the man she is supposed to be taking care of isn't that much older than herself and kind of an asshole...

Review
Words cannot describe how beautifully written this book is. Not once did I feel like the writer was laying it on too thick, or focused on one part of the story for too long, whether it be the disability or the possible romance blooming between two of the characters. Speaking of characters, there wasn't one person in the book I didn't like (no, wait, actually there was one, but I'm not going to spoil the story for you) for the way they were written. Every person in this book was well-rounded and just plain lovable, even the ones you don't want to love, you will wholeheartedly. From the start there is a clear vision you have for Lou's future and the way the writer has worked that part into the story is stunning. Plus, there is a plot twist that even though you kind of see it coming, still hurts so bad. 
To truly paint the picture of how much I loved this book: I don't cry, not with movies, not with books... Ever! But with this book, I came sooooo close! 
Well, if that's not a stellar recommendation, then I don't know what else to say to get you to read this book!
Rating: *****
