“Can my love prevent your death?”
A miraculous love that came at the most desperate moment of life

Louisa, who has never left the small English village of Stortfold, has been working at the only café in town for six years.
I thought it was fulfilling and happy until I received the sudden notice of the cafe's closure.
Louisa, who became unemployed overnight, fails to find a new job every time, and takes the last job recommended by the job center as a '6-month temporary caregiver for a paralyzed patient' as her last chance.
As the breadwinner for her family, she had no choice but to take this job, which guaranteed high wages.

Living in a completely different world, just a street away from the same town, Will was a young businessman who traveled the world, enjoyed extreme sports, and believed that if you put your mind to it, you could do anything you set your mind to.
That was until an unexpected accident left him a quadriplegic.
One day, a new caregiver hired by his mother appeared before him, who was living in a wheelchair and suffering more than death.
A woman in a ridiculous outfit and with an awkward smile said.
“My name is Lou.”

The lives of the two people who had been walking on completely different paths gradually begin to walk towards each other.
Before meeting Will, Louisa wasn't sure who she was.
I thought I would get married, have a few kids, and live a few blocks away from where I always lived.
But Will showed me the wide world.
Don't settle for a life where everything happens within an 8km radius, but live boldly.
As he said that, he was actually preparing for the end.

“Can’t you just… live by my side?”
A love story that completely changes the reader's life.

It's rare to find a book that retains the unique fun and light writing style of romance while still being so moving and resonant.
Jojo Moyes's endless humor, lighthearted dialogue, and stories of families and young men and women make us reflect on life and the nature of humanity.
By tackling the highly sensitive topic of assisted suicide, it goes beyond the usual romance novels and asks weighty questions.
Faced with countless choices in life, how much of my decision-making power do I truly possess? Have I handed over that power to someone else? If death is part of my life, should my right to decide how I will end my life be respected?

The lingering feeling this book leaves deeply affects our lives even after we close the book.
Readers who initially thought it was a light romance novel discovered greater value and meaning after reading it.
Reviews continued, such as “I wanted to live a better life” and “I regained my will to live.”
This book contains a miraculous story, yet one so real that it will live on in readers' hearts for a lifetime.

“If life is not so long and death is inevitable, we cannot afford to waste even a moment paralyzed by fear.
Taking control of your life is not a luxury afforded to everyone.
But at least I must find within myself the power to decide and take responsibility for my own life.
“Me Before You” is a book that touches the resolve of the heart that we all need.” _Translator’s Note
