A romantic Brit-Lit (British Literature) appreciation post.

The words British Literature might initially scare you - you might be reminded of your high school days, where you were forced to recite Shakespeare and analyse Jane Austen for days on end - but we’re here to remind you of another side of British literature... modern love stories!

Jojo Moyes’ book 'Me Before You’ novel is a great example of this - and as we wait for the film-adaptation to be released into cinemas (June 16th for NZ!), we’ve compiled some great Brit-Lit reads that you should read in the meantime.

A 'Me Before You' cast appreciation post.

You know when you’re watching a film and there’s an actor or actress that you’ve seen in something else and you just can't quite remember where you've seen them before previously? Well, we are here to help.

To celebrate the release of ‘Me Before You’ - which is out in New Zealand cinemas now, FYI - we decided to create a run-down of its talented cast-members, as many of them you’ll recognise from other films or television shows.

But first, here’s some official info on the new film:
