“You only get one life. It’s actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.”

July 29, 2014 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

I put Me Before You on my to-read list after reading ModernLove’s review back in February. The emotional response she had to the book elevated it from a maybe read to a definitely read (the book was already on my radar given Jen K’s, Malin’s, and HelloKatieO’s reviews from CBR5). Here is what I wrote on Goodreads immediately following completing the novel: “This fucking book. Christ, I can’t even find the words right now.

February 4, 2014 by ModernLove 5 Comments

I should start this out by saying I love sleep. Sleep is where I’m a viking, and I try and get a lot of it. This book ruined sleep for me. This book kept me up until almost 1AM last night reading it, and even later tossing it around in my thoughts. This book invaded my dreams and was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning. This book ruined me. I wish I could sit here and give you a […]
