Ep. 94 - Me Before You - Book and Movie Review (LitLovers selection)

Get ready to weep. Jojo Moyes' 9th novel, Me Before You, became a runaway bestseller, selling over 5 million copies around the globe. As Vanity Fair put it: “It’s an existential work that’s masquerading as a beach read.” ​ Now the author of 13 novels, the film version of Me Before You marks a first: Jojo Moyes' very first screenplay - the naturally visual writer adapted her own novel for the big screen (and by all accounts, thoroughly enjoyed the process). ​ A LitLovers selection, Hollister & O'Toole discuss both the book and the movie - film directed by Thea Sharrock; starring Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games).
