The novel Me Before You 《遇见你之前》tells a story that you might never forget. It is a bestseller（畅销书）by British writer Jojo Moyes. The book has been made into a film. British actress Emilia Clarke and actor Sam Claflin play the leading roles in the film.
There are two main characters in this book. One is Lou, a girl who loses her job at a cafe. The other is Will, a young man who becomes disabled（残疾的）after an accident.
Lou finds a job---looking after Will. At first, they don't like each other very much. Then they slowly become good friends. But this happiness only lasts a few days.
When I read the book, I couldn't help but notice its language. The writer is good at describing the feelings of characters. And there are also many wonderful descriptions of the environment around the characters. For example, Moyes writes, "I saw it was bigger than I had imagined, red brick with a double front…" describing how surprised Lou is when she sees Will's house for the first time.
At the end of the book, Will writes "Just live well. Just live." in a letter. This short line is the last thing that Will writes to Lou before he leaves the world. It shows Will's deep feelings. He wants her to live a colourful life -the very thing he had wanted to do before he had his accident.
