As a teenager, she endured a traumatic sexual assault on the grounds of the town's medieval castle. Louisa eventually reveals to Will one of the reasons for her cautious personality. They attend horse races, concerts, and art gallery shows, all while becoming closer with one another. Lou, accompanied by Will's nurse Nathan, takes her charge on a series of outings with moderate success. She returns on the condition that she be allowed to take Will on a series of "adventures" in the hopes of brightening his outlook and convincing him to stay alive. Lou, who has grown fond of Will, is so upset that she nearly quits her job. He has agreed with his mother that he will wait six months before going to Switzerland to take his own life. She learns that Will has attempted suicide once and is still determined to commit physician-assisted suicide. Will encourages Lou to explore interests outside of her comfort zone, while Lou gives Will practical assistance and helps him to feel less depressed.Īfter several weeks on the job, Lou overhears a conversation between Will's mother and sister.
However, the two eventually begin to connect, sharing jokes and treating one another with straightforward honesty. Will is bitter when Lou first meets him, and subjects her to cruelty and ironic asides. The man is Will Traynor, a former London businessman who has been seriously injured in an accident. Since her family's financial situation is increasingly worrisome, she takes the best available job in her small town: care worker for a quadriplegic man. Me Before You begins with its protagonist, Louisa Clark, losing her steady job at a cafe.
