This dark book is a standalone by USA Today Bestselling Author, Drethi Anis. ![]() ![]() I chose Me Before You as my next read after a good long bout of trepidation for mainly two reasons: the first being the fact that I tried reading it a couple of years back when I first watched and fell in love with the movie, but couldn’t read past a few dozen pages owing to all the differences and the question of if I’d begin liking the movie less after reading the entire ‘story’, so to speak, being the second.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND | PARENTAGE & OWNERSHIP | SIBLINGS & SHOWS | BREEDING & PROGENY ![]() ![]() The end fell back on more familiar romance territory but it was still well done. Her outrageous confidence and willingness to do anything were very entertaining. I enjoyed the beginning of the book the most. I enjoyed this one even more than the sequel–even though I can’t keep the titles straight to save my life. ![]() Alex has to figure out what he wants and Lily has some secrets from her past that add some excitement to the story, but all ends well.
