When one story ends, another begins. The sequel to the beloved New York Times million-copy best seller Me Before You.
How do you move on after losing the person you loved? How do you build a life worth living?
Louisa Clark is no longer just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. After the transformative six months spent with Will Traynor, she is struggling without him. When an extraordinary accident forces Lou to return home to her family, she can’t help but feel she’s right back where she started.
Her body heals, but Lou herself knows that she needs to be kick-started back to life. Which is how she ends up in a church basement with the members of the Moving On support group, who share insights, laughter, frustrations, and terrible cookies. They will also lead her to the strong, capable Sam Fielding – the paramedic whose business is life and death and the one man who might be able to understand her. Then a figure from Will’s past appears and hijacks all her plans, propelling her into a very different future….
For Lou Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings. But here Jojo Moyes gives us two families, as real as our own, whose joys and sorrows will touch you deeply and where both changes and surprises await.
After You is quintessential Jojo Moyes – a novel that will make you laugh, cry, and rejoice at being back in the world she creates. Here she does what few novelists can do – revisits beloved characters and takes them to places neither they nor we ever expected.
Wonderful sequel to ME BEFORE YOU AFTER YOU by Jojo Moyes is the follow-up to the smashing bestseller ME BEFORE YOU. Louisa, her family, and the Traynor family are back after thousands of fans of MBY were curious, even concerned, about Louisa’s wellbeing and future. Briefly, MBY is an emotionally charged story about a young carer, Louisa, and Will Traynor, a quadraplegic. Louisa doesn’t know what she wants in life except to live a quiet life in her small town, but Will, once an outgoing, entrepreneurial,…
not just so you can get to know the characters but because it is also one of my favourite books of all time After You is the long awaited sequel to Me Before You.Â
Not nearly as good at Me Before You, IMO. *spoiler-free* I hate to upset fans of Me Before You (hell, I’m a huge fan of Me Before You), but this was a very underwhelming sequel. I think if you are expecting the emotional punch of the first book you are going to be sorely disappointed.Â
