00:00I met up with my friend Sophie Kinsella and had lunch with her beforehand and I was broke at the
00:05time and I was feeling quite depressed because I thought my writing career was coming to an end
00:10and I've never forgotten it. She very gracefully, I thought we were going to Starbucks and she said
00:15oh no no no we're going to go to the Gabroche and I was like what and I panicked because I thought
00:20I can't afford it and she said very sweetly oh no I had some Bulgarian royalties come in today
00:26and I've got no idea what to do with them so this will be a lovely thing to do with them
00:29and I remember thinking gosh that was gracefully done and then I told her the story of my 20,000
00:35words over lunch and she just looked at me and she said you have to write this book you do know that
00:40you have to write this book and then when I got home her husband Henry she told him and he called
00:46me up and said Jojo Maddy which is her real name told me about this book and I think you should
00:52write it too. I love her for many reasons but that's one of them. Me Before You is it's one of those
00:58stories that that people just love.
