Our view
“Me Before You” is a love story that earns its tears: its characters are easy to love, and it asks hard questions about how a life should end. That willingness to stay with an uncomfortable subject is what lifts it above routine romance. It runs close to 500 pages and opens a trilogy; anyone looking for a purely comforting read should know it will hurt.
