Me Before You (2012)
Twenty-six-year-old Lou Clark is looking for a new job and, with her parents relying on her wages, she reluctantly takes up a well-paid offer to become carer to a disabled man. Will Traynor, a 30-something dynamic high-flyer from a wealthy family who was left a house-bound quadriplegic after an accident two years earlier, is surly and reluctant to engage with the chatty Lou. But Lou is determined to show him that life is worth living again. This is an absorbing and moving story about two people who probably would never have met under different circumstances, who push each other to expand their horizons. With sharp dialogue, captivating characters and a heart-wrenching and thought-provoking central issue, this may well be 2012's One Day. Breathtakingly spectacular - just don't let anyone tell you too much about the plot before you read it.

The Last Letter from your Lover (2010)
Love letters have become a thing of the past as technology has evolved. Ellie is a 21st century girl who works at her local newspaper and is in a relationship with a married man. Her communication with him consists of texts and IMs. When her newspaper has an upcoming commemorative issue, Ellie is assigned to scouring the archives for items to use. She comes across love letters that were written from 1960-1964. Reading these letters pulls at her heartstrings and Ellie decides to go on a mission to find the original owners of the letters - both the To and the From. What follows is one reporter's mission to find true love and bring together two people who loved and lost many years ago. Jojo Moyes has created the most heartfelt and heart-warming book that every girl with even an ounce of romanticism will thoroughly enjoy. (PP)
