Me Without You Paperback – October 10, 2023

A beautifully written book. The witty inter-changes, the humor and beautiful portrayal of the fascinating characters made this a stunning read. Extremely emotional - get ready to shed more than a few tears

This is a modern re make of Love Story... but infinitely more interesting, the characters have value and worth and it makes sense. The ending is predictable and as one reviewer wrote, you will need a box of tissues. Another good read for a summer day or on a plane trip. I am decidedly glad that I purchased it to read, but it was not a thunderstorm that changed my life.

Loved this story and I crave more! Beautifully written page turner. I am not a typical Love story reader but was well worth it. Could not put it down!

I would have given this one more star, but there were a lot of distracting typos.The story was about two very opposite people meeting and hitting it off immediately...They agreed to take whatever they had one day at a time, one of them not knowing the other had an agenda. A perfect relationship without the usual uttered commitments...but who needs them if the act of love unsaid was more than enough? Only, nothing lasts forever, and so it seemed.This was a very emotional read, but then again asI said in the beginning, the momentum was often interrupted by print errors. I read the kindle edition by the way.

There are so many reviews that tell the story of this book, so I don't feel I need to go into detail about the couple in this book, but I will say that it was the best book I have read in a long time. Wow! This author writes so beautifully; nothing sounds corny or adolescent in her writing. And I only say that because I understood this to be her first book. I read The Secret Daughter by the same author, and I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to read more from her. This was the most beautiful love story of all time. Can't say enough about it. She elicited emotions I forgot I had. The couple, Callum and Lilah, are so cute together: complete opposites, yet so well-suited. Their dialogue is funny, witty, clever, etc. I fell in love with both of them so I was along for the ride. After reading the very first segment writtin by Lilah, the reader will pretty much know what is going to happen at the end of the book, but it really doesn't matter. You cannot stop reading. Laugh, cry, feel, and enjoy! Excellent!

A story about two professional people who can't be more different from each other from her being vegetarian and him not, to Lilian walking barefoot as much as possible to him keeping his chest waxed and hair trimmed regularly.Callum is cynical on relationships and Lilian flat doesn't want one but yet they can't stay away from each other until the day out of the blue Lilah leaves after Callum and her had been getting along so well.Throughout Lilah's journal's entry's will refer to something she is afraid is coming back. A reason she knows she cannot allow things to get serious between the two of them but does not share with Callum.After the break up her mom calls after a small period of time and tells him Lilah needs him and if he loves her he has to be prepared for her sickness.It is at this time finally we find out that Lilah has Huntington Disease and that is why she tried keeping their relationship simple then ended was so he wouldn't have to go through it with her.The book was a very good read even though it had a sad ending it also had many good things happen at the end due to the love the couple had for each other and some steps Lilah arranged prior to her death and Callum followed through with plus built onto.Again, well worth your time to read.

A beautiful story that I cried the last hundred pages of. If only true love was for everyone. Enjoy! Worth the read.

Anyone who has met someone who turned your life around will find a strong connection to this book. This story would make a great movie. If you saw the Notebook and loved it, you would love this book. The characters are so realistic that you will have difficulty believing this story is fiction. This is my favorite work from this author so far.
