Me before You to The Husband's Secret

Jojo Moyes

Me before you. 



...I am me standing before you.
...I consider the needs of me before the needs of you.
...I used to consider the needs of me before those of you.
...From now on, I will not consider the needs of me before you.
...Does a mother, when thinking of her child, ever say "me before you?"
...I was a different me, before meeting you.
...When we die, it will be me before you.


We thought these all.
Great title.
JoJo Moyes, thank you for this book.
Mary, Jane, Jackie, Linda thank you for recommending.




Camilla Traynor, you aren't such a bad mom. Ice water runs in your veins, but boy you love your son.  You love him like a lioness in the Serengeti, not afraid to literally rend your own heart in two when it is done for Will. Wow.

Steven Traynor, can't really get a read on you. Except you do get your son, and understand what he has to do. You will move on.

Will, I know people like you.  Like you were. My heart aches for you. You evolve into the very definition of a tragic hero.. Rescuing Lou as you slip away. Holding her up above the crashing waves, so she is safe and alive while you drown. A tragic hero.

Lou, love your spark. Love your willingness to give it your all. To be vulnerable. To love. To live. To move forward. I forgive you for your middle-school selfishness on the airplane back from Mauritius. You aren't perfect. The author, and Camilla, gave you a chance to redeem yourself. Should we all have a chance to redeem ourselves of momentary selfishnesses....  At the end, you have become a woman who embraces life. Just like in a romance novel....

Linda's cooking was superb.
 Julia Childs has nothing on you!
Cream of artichoke soup topped with marscapone and pancetta, spinach salad, samosas with coriander sauce.
Sprinkles of Lindor chocolates for dessert.
No one does leeks like you do, and I admire that.

Thank you Linda for the delishiousness!
Thank you all for the 12:15 sit down time.
And what a clean up crew! We all work together seamlessly.
Yippee Doodle!



So next month, Liane Moriarty's The Husband's Secret. December 6 at Interlachen. You will be hearing from a hostess.

Until then.... shhhhh!
