‘An unforgettable tale that I couldn’t recommend more.’ 5/5 GirlsLovetoRead
If you enjoyed Me Before You by JoJo Moyes, One Day by David Nicholls, or The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks – then make time for Kelly Rimmer’s stunning, heartbreaking new novel Me Without You.
A story of how love can break our hearts – and heal them.
A year ago I met the love of my life. For two people who didn’t believe in love at first sight, we came pretty close.
Lilah MacDonald – beautiful, opinionated, stubborn and all kinds of wonderful in ways that words could never quite capture. The woman who taught me to live again.
My Lilah, who gave me so much, and yet kept from me a secret that she knew would break my heart.
My name is Callum Roberts, and this is our story.
Me Without You is a book to make you smile, bring you to tears and remind you to hold on tightly to those you love.
What people are saying about Me Without You…
‘I was hooked right from the start, and it was just the most beautiful portrayal of falling in love I’ve ever read. It’s the type of love you dream of and want for yourself… Kelly Rimmer has done an outstanding job with Me Without You, it’s engaging, it warmed my heart to the very core, and then tore it out and stomped all over it. (Quite meanly, may I add?) I knew it was coming, I knew the ending was inevitable before the first page, but the depth of Rimmer’s writing and Callum’s narrative slated me, and I ended up in tears. It was both sad and beautiful at the same time, and I admire Lilah for living her entire life on her own terms. I will miss Callum and Lilah. They stole into my heart, their story is one I will long remember and Me Without You is an unforgettable tale that I couldn’t recommend more.’ 5/5 GirlsLovetoRead
‘I fell in love with this amazing book after the first sentence and would read it all over again. A wonderful mixture of emotions, real love, secrets, laughter and sadness.’ Sky’s Book Corner
‘Me Without You is the beautiful, moving story of Callum and Lilah and they turned me into a complete emotional wreck. I loved the banter and the chemistry between them both right from the first, brilliant chapter and then as the book went on, it warmed and broke my heart all at the same time… It’s an incredible novel. Reviewed the Book
‘It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that made me ‘ugly cry.’ You know what I mean… big, fat tears rolling down your cheeks leaving you with eyes so puffy you look like you’ve had an allergic reaction. Think Claire Danes in… well… pretty much any role she’s ever been in. Kelly Rimmer’s Me Without You certainly broke that dry spell… Told in alternating points of view from Lilah and Callum, Me Without You is a heartbreaker of a book that has great characters and a gut-wrenching ending that left me feeling a weird mix of bereft and yet hopeful.’ 4/5 JudgingCovers
‘There’s not much I can say without giving the story away, other than how much I adore Callum and Lilah. Their love story is so genuine and heartfelt… This book is beautifully written, and I found myself highlighting like crazy throughout. I highly recommend this book, but I must warn you, it’s one that will make you cry.’ 4.5/5 Mrs Leif’s Blog

Beautifully written, highly emotional
A beautifully written book. The witty inter-changes, the humor and beautiful portrayal of the fascinating characters made this a stunning read. Extremely emotional – get ready to shed more than a few tears

A Sad Romance
This is a modern re make of Love Story… but infinitely more interesting, the characters have value and worth and it makes sense. The ending is predictable and as one reviewer wrote, you will need a box of tissues. Another good read for a summer day or on a plane trip. I am decidedly glad that I purchased it to read, but it was not a thunderstorm that changed my life.

Absolutely a beautiful story
Loved this story and I crave more! Beautifully written page turner. I am not a typical Love story reader but was well worth it. Could not put it down!

Emotional, but I got distracted…
I would have given this one more star, but there were a lot of distracting typos.The story was about two very opposite people meeting and hitting it off immediately…They agreed to take whatever they had one day at a time, one of them not knowing the other had an agenda. A perfect relationship without the usual uttered commitments…but who needs them if the act of love unsaid was more than enough? Only, nothing lasts forever, and so it seemed.This was a very emotional read, but then again asI said in the beginning, the momentum was often interrupted by print errors. I read the kindle edition by the way.

Get ready to cry
A beautiful story that I cried the last hundred pages of. If only true love was for everyone. Enjoy! Worth the read.

Good book
A story about two professional people who can’t be more different from each other from her being vegetarian and him not, to Lilian walking barefoot as much as possible to him keeping his chest waxed and hair trimmed regularly.Callum is cynical on relationships and Lilian flat doesn’t want one but yet they can’t stay away from each other until the day out of the blue Lilah leaves after Callum and her had been getting along so well.Throughout Lilah’s journal’s entry’s will refer to something she is afraid is coming back. A reason she knows she cannot allow things to get serious between the two of them but does not share with Callum.After the break up her mom calls after a small period of time and tells him Lilah needs him and if he loves her he has to be prepared for her sickness.It is at this time finally we find out that Lilah has Huntington Disease and that is why she tried keeping their relationship simple then ended was so he wouldn’t have to go through it with her.The book was a very good read even though it had a sad ending it also had many good things happen at the end due to the love the couple had for each other and some steps Lilah arranged prior to her death and Callum followed through with plus built onto.Again, well worth your time to read.

It Can’t Be Anything Less Than Five Solid Stars
Such a soul gripping, heart wrenching, sweet, and loving romance. Lilah and Callum…Sigh…The author created an amazing novel. You will laugh, get angry, and cry reading this. Then when it’s all over you will reflect on the novel and feel all those emotions all over again. The chemistry between Lilah and Callum was remarkable. The dialogue between the characters was very well written and ran smoothly. Their personalities and differences are so opposite you would never think there’s any way those two could ever manage to be in the same room without strangling each other but at last opposites do attract. Novels that touches the heart and makes yours break just by reading it is some of the best. It takes a great author to be able to bring forth such strong emotions in a reader. Koodles to the wonderful job Ms. Rimmer created with this novel. I would highly recommend this as a MUST read. Just make sure you have tissue handy, get ready to laugh, have your heart soar with love, then shattered, and hopefully in the end find some solace.

Heartfelt Read
Anyone who has met someone who turned your life around will find a strong connection to this book. This story would make a great movie. If you saw the Notebook and loved it, you would love this book. The characters are so realistic that you will have difficulty believing this story is fiction. This is my favorite work from this author so far.

A story of love in the face of adversity which examines the questions of dedication and trust in a relationship and sheds light on an affliction that is perhaps not well known to the public at large. I had heard of it but knew nothing about it. Good characterization involves the reader in the characters’ lives and the narrative structure is such that you cannot put it down. It had me in bits, but I couldn’t stop reading.

I am an avid reader to the extent of reading 3-4 books per week. It is unlikely for me to sleep well if I do not read before sleeping, and usually during work lunch hours, as well as any spare time grabbed on train travel, or in between events. Therefore, at the extent of this amount of reading, it is rare that a book will move me as much as Me Without You did. Since purchasing a Kindle, it is far easier to expand exploring through new authors that I may not have both a physical copy of before, and of course – fr always having the option of reading something when on the go.Lilah & Callum’s story unweaves right from that first meeting on board the ferry. Having lived in Sydney myself, and made trips to Manly, the descriptions of scenery were kept exquisite and only served to make me want to return as soon as I could – not looking at all likely in the near future unfortunately.Little hints are dropped all through the storyline as to what’s to come, but you’re never sure – I had her “secret” 100% and had no idea the blow that was to drop on me as I became more and more involved. Lilah is quirky, particular, passionate and difficult to commit to anything. Callum, on the other hand, you instantly see as someone who needs to take a step back from the madness of the rat race, and find someone who’ll drag him out of his comfort zone – Lilah does just that, disconcertingly for him.Their story is made up of love, anger, sadness, joy, exploration, friendship, heartbreak and family. An incredible tale woven skillfully by Kelly Rimmer – I’ll certainly be exploring other reading options of hers, if she has more books written. Also, few, so few books make me cry – I was openly in tears at the end of this one. Could not recommend more – five stars for this one!

What a wonderful story!Deeply emotional, extremely moving, but never cheesy, extremely real and sad, but with a not so subtle joy for life underlining the devastating circumstances. Like Moyes’ Me Before You, Nicholls’ One Day, and the more recent Rowan Coleman’s The Memory Book this is a book about love and life, and not about illness and evil fate.It’s extremely well written, and words just flow in a stream of emotions, from the character’s heart to the reader.I loved it, and I can definitely say it will be in my top ten best reads for 2016.I will definitely read more by this fantastic author.

Das Buch hat mich ehrlich etwas mitgenommen, allerdings sehr positiv. Am Ende lehrt es einen dass man die Tage, egal wie viele es sind, die man hat nutzen soll. Auch für die späte große Liebe und sich nicht verschließen sollte. Man merkt von Anfang an dass mit Lilah etwas nicht stimmt, das macht es aber umso spannender. Ich habe es in ein paar Tagen durchgelesen weil ich nicht mehr aufhören konnte und es lohnt sich meiner Meinung nach auf jeden Fall.
