ME BEFORE YOU, British Romance/Euthanasia Novel

British author JoJo Moyes has been awarded the Romantic Novel award, twice.  ME BEFORE YOU could be classified a romance novel.   It is a blossoming/doomed romance between a quadriplegic determined to end his life and his quirky, garrulous care giver, Louisa Clark, equally determined to convince him of all that life has to offer; including her love for him.  Will Traynor is the handsome, athletic, wealthy, alpha male whose left a quadriplegic from a motorcycle accident.  Traynor's aristocratic family own the large castle in the small town where Louisa (Lou) lives with her struggling, working class family.  After the tea shop Lou worked at closes, she desperately seeks a source of income to support her dependent family.  Despite having no experience working with the disabled, Lou is surprised to be offered the job of caring for Will by his tyrannical mother.  Her increased salary is a source of great relief to her family.   However, Lou is ready to quit as soon as she is subjected to Will's belligerence & her own feelings of inadequacy.  The job is contracted only for the next 6 months.  Lou discerns Will's distressful agreement with his family.  They have submitted to his adamant decision to commit euthanasia in 6 months.  Where is the love, the comedy, the class distinctions, the irrepressible spirits?  They abound in an easily readable & enjoyable novel that makes you care for Lou & Will, root for their relationship awhile presenting intelligent, polarizing views on euthanasia.   There are 2 serious and poignant films on this subject that I recommend:  the Spanish film "The Sea Inside" with Javier Barden & the Italian film "Honey" ('14.)  I also recommend this surprisingly engaging novel that puts forth the much needed discussion on the legalization of euthanasia.
