“Me before you”.
\n<\/span>Before the sense of inadequacy.
\nBefore embarrassment.
\nBefore the fear.
\nBefore the the desire to change.
\nBefore the harsh trials of life.
\nBefore understanding the injustice.
\nBefore first love, the real one.
\nBefore realizing that – for someone – sometimes love is not enough.<\/p>\n

Louisa, twenty-six, and a job as a waitress in the small resort town in which she grew up. Patrick, for seven years her boyfriend. So it happens that one day Louisa loses her\u00a0job but finds Will.<\/p>\n

Not up to me say that the novel of Jojo Moyses Me before you is not just a love story. Sometimes the labels allow us to understand what expecting from the people, places and stories. I wouldn\u2019t like to present this book in this way. It would arrive as happened to me, without expectations, sitting in a bar chatting with my friend Mavi, and perhaps because of it without the desire, to read over, wanting to judge, criticize or praise. There are books that have the sole task of making you “discover that your desires are universal desires, you are not alone or isolated from anyone. You belong.”<\/p>\n

And I belong to what? Maybe to the half full glass, to the positive side, to the grass in my garden, to the optimistic view of life. And you?<\/span>After reading it, what happens? You may think that singing in the shower, laughing loudly, bending over backwards to a friend (because sometimes, it is still worth), love without restraint, living every day without futile discontent may be enough for your daily dose of positivity.<\/p>\n

So when you are happy, think about it.<\/span><\/h5>\n
