Between The Covers - November's Book Selection

Marian presented "Me Before You" in such a beautiful manner.  Marian described this book as a classic love story, differences between classes, family dynamics, and assisted suicide.  The movie comes out in August 2015.  

Marian asked the group - what does "Me Before You" mean to you?  Carole mentioned the meaning was "who I was before I met you".  Ginger felt the title was about the selfishness of the world - Me Before You.  Donna suggested perhaps the title meant - it is my decision.  In the end, the decision is personal and everyone deals with it differently.  

The discussion moved towards the selfishness of the families towards both Louisa and Will.  His mother could not speak to him since he was always his own person.  

Marian did a fabulous job of leading our discussion.

We rated the book 4.5
