After being paralyzed in a freak motorcycle accident in Me Before You, Will Traynor contends with a flurry of emotions, but none are as powerful as his feeling of disappointment. He's disappointed that he's no longer able to travel and live life like he once did; he's disappointed that his future is looking bleaker and bleaker; and he's disappointed that he's lost his sense of independence. Although he eventually strikes up a strong bond with Lou Clark, a goofy girl with an even goofier sense of humor, it remains to be seen whether Will can overcome these feelings and gain a renewed perspective on what life has to offer him.
