I distinctly remember walking through Barnes & Noble a few months ago and picking up a book titled, "Me After You" by Jojo Moyes. Without even thinking twice, I read the back and purchased the book. I thought it was going to be a perfect "girl gets over boy she never thought she could live without" kind of book. So you could imagine my surprise when I opened it to find the first page read, "Make sure to buy this stories prequel, 'Me Before You.'"

When I first started "Me Before You," I thought it was going to be just like every other kind of Nicholas Sparks book I had in the past. But I found myself devouring the book in only a couple of days, wishing it would never end. It was the kind of story that had you holding your breath until the last page, only to then make you not be able to breath because you're crying so hard. These people had become my friends and I was totally connected to their love story. As soon as I saw the trailer, I knew that there would be nothing keeping me from seeing it as soon as it came out.

Now don't get me wrong, I cried about as much as the next person did throughout the film. The acting was phenomenal and the casting was exactly how I pictured them to be. But what was really throwing me for a loop was how much of a difference there was between the film and the book. I understand that it's nearly impossible to fit a story of well over 300 pages into a two hour film. With that in mind, I do believe there are a few crucial moments that could have been brought into the film.

For one, Mr. Traynor, what happened to your sidekick? I had heard from a number of people that it gave off the idea that he wasn't particularly faithful to his wife in the beginning, but we never saw anything that proved otherwise. Even though this seem to be such a minor detail in hindsight, it would add to the fire of Will's decision to end his life. Giving him not only a broken home called his body and a broken home within his family/support system.

Something else that I felt was crucial was to bring in Louisa's rape scene. Obviously no one wants to watch that in the middle of such a heart-breaking love story, but it would have brought so much more depth to Louisa's character. Her and Will even have a conversation in regards as to why such a free spirited woman such as she would be stuck in this dreary little town. And we twiddle our thumbs right around the subject, never fully understanding or knowing what is pushing Louisa to stay in this town.

One other moment that would not have even taken much time at all to put in was a phone call where Camilla Traynor calls Louisa asking her to come see Will one last time. This is such an important moment because it not only gives the audience hope that Louisa could still change the future, but we get to see the true trust that Camilla has built with Louisa.

This movie was by no means a disappointment, but if you read the book beforehand, definitely be ready for a difference in story line.
