⭐ After You by Jojo Moyes is the second book in her series, Me Before You . This is the story of Louisa Clark and her life AFTER Will Traynor. It is refreshingly nowhere near as heartbreaking as as it’s predecessor, Me Before You, and picks up after Lou’s time in Paris AFTER Switzerland and (view spoiler).The book quite literally begins with a bang (or crash?) with Louisa taking a bad fall and being collected by the paramedics. Intense and sad when we see just how (view spoiler). Once she is out of the hospital her parents insist she go to a support group for grieving people and she reluctantly agrees. Then, a teenager named Lily shows up on her doorstep with a surprising revelation and Louisa’s life is embroiled in Lily’s teenage drama. Then, she meets the paramedic that helped piece her back together after her fall and finds him just as wonderful as he was the night he saved her. Things are slowly turning around for Lou and she doesn’t feel like she is letting Will down as much. But this is just the calm before the storm and while she tries to move on with Sam, can he deal with hr still painfully mourning Will? Can Lily ever get ehr head around her family issues and can Lou help her or is she just a punching bag for this hormonal teen with, rightly so, abandonment issues.People looking for another heartbreak like Me Before You will be sorely disappointed. This is Lou’s life moving on from that epic romance/tragedy. Why anyone would want to put her through something like losing Will a second time is beyond me. The story is intriguing and entertaining and no less Louisa Clark than the first book but it is MUCH more lighthearted (in comparison). Up next, Still Me. Enjoy!

⭐ When I found out that Me Before You was getting a sequel, I was extremely hesitant. It was such a strong book that I was unsure if a sequel would add to it or take away from it. These were characters that I had developed a love for and I didn’t want my memories of them to potentially be tarnished. Think about it. The reader grows attached to the characters. One wrong move and you altar their preception of that character and not necessarily in a good way. That being said, I did wonder how Lou was doing after the events of Me Before You. Tricky business, sequels are. Very very tricky.I wish that I could say that I went into this book with a totally open mind but I find that impossible to do. I did not go into with a completely open mind because I was so invested in the story. The first book was so extraordinary that it set this one up to potentially fall on its face. Unfortuantely, in some ways, it did. It was nice to see how Lou was doing but some of the events completely came out of left field and I was not quite sure how to process them. Good character development for some and so so for others.I am rating this book Three Stars because it fell short but I did not hate it. Predictable in some ways. Random in others. Upon finishing it, I hoped that any future books in the series would bypass this one. I wish that I could rate it higher because I loved Me Before You so much but I cannot. Not a horrible read but not up to the standards that the author gave us in the previous book. On the fence about recommending.InkedBookDragon

⭐ I loved this book just as much as I loved the first one “Me Before You”. This is Louisa’s life after Will and I thought it was very true to her character, especially in how long it takes her to finally move on with her life. She is lost without him and it shows in her choices of job, clothing, recreation. When life keeps trying to get her to move on, she fights it as hard as she can as she doesn’t want to have a fulfilling life without Will.I hope there is another Louisa novel in the works as I’ve grown quite attached to her.

⭐ Not as fresh as book one. Many events are just incredibly unlikely but so predictable that I was pretty disappointed in Jojo. Much of this books she borrows events and ideas from many authors to make her story (the whole mom taking classes and the dad getting so upset…trivial dribble found funny ONCE – a long time ago). And where she didn’t borrow was just boring. For example the grieving “circle” which I guess was intended to be humor but I found it idiotic and boring with a side of unnecessary childish smut (i guess its a British thing to continually talk about sex and body parts like you’re a nine year old and find it oh so funny??). I didn’t hate the book but it’s sure not thought provoking or even relatable. I know, not every read has to be earth shattering. Rest assured – this is not and intelligent read.

⭐ The aftermath. That is what I thought of this book. I loved the first one, and I just new that I couldn’t or wouldn’t love this one as much. That was true and it wasn’t. I enjoyed how life wasn’t just peachy for Lou, how we heard about her struggles and fears. The pain and anger. It was all so real. There were times when I wanted her to just snap out of it, but then you remember what she lost, and the way in which she lost it. Grief has no directions or timetables. It takes and takes, and very rarely, and slowly does it begin to give back. I wasn’t expecting Lily, I was caught off guard with that surprise, but it wove into the story seamlessly. Sam was also quite wonderful. Well written book, and honest. It made me miss and want to love and hurt Will all over again.

⭐ In this sequel to Me Before You, we catch up with Lou as she is struggling to figure out what exactly it means to ‘live well’ as Will instructed her to do after his death.I was hesitant to continue with this series as I had a niggling feeling that Lou wasn’t a strong enough character to carry a book on her own. I was partially right but at least the new characters were interesting enough and each new character’s background story gave Lou a chance to grow albeit at a snail’s pace. My only problem with Lou as a character is that Moyes makes her conveniently and frustratingly obtuse in a lot of instances.I will probably finish the series at some stage. Not because of any real desire to know where Lou ends up but because I’m the type of reader that has to finish a book or series no matter how I feel about it.

⭐ I liked After You by JoJo Moyes, but it wasn’t memorable like the first extraordinary book in the series, Me Before You. It was an entertaining novel, but fell short of the emotional impact created by Me Before You.Louisa Clark returns, still so likable but struggling through the stages of grief since the passing of Will Traynor. With the help of quirky friends from her group therapy session, called The Moving on Circle, a teenage girl, named Lily, a new love interest, Sam, and her comical but loving family, Louisa begins to recover and starts experiencing life again.JoJo Moyes is an exceptional writer. Her books tackle substantial subjects in the best of ways. Reading one of her books is an emotional catharsis. You’ll laugh out loud one minute and sob the next. They are equally as successful for a book discussion as they are to read at the beach. But, when an author decides to write a sequel to a book like Me Before You, expectations are incredibly high, and the follow up story needs to pack the punch of the first. This one unfortunately did not. Most sequels don’t live up to the original, and though I don’t object to this one, it did not need to be written. Some stories are so special that it is best to leave them alone. They are perfect as told and satisfyingly complete. Me Before You was one of those novels. 3 1/2 stars.

⭐ I didn’t cry when I read Me Before You but,I certainly did @ the end of this one.Louisa Clark is stuck. She’s stuck in grief,stuck with the anger @ Will,and stuck with trying to figure out what to do. Drowning her sorrows in wine,she takes a great fall off her rooftop & meets 2 people that will forever change her life.I loved this book so much. I loved the Clark family (especially her parents). The Moving On circle was wonderful. The stories they would tell & seeing how people cope with grief no matter the age. Lily,for all of her teenage angst,was a surprise I never expected but,it was wonderful. To watch her develop a relationship with,not only Louisa but,the Trayner’s as well was wonderful. The pop in that is Nathan. It was great to get a few glimpses of him.And Sam Fielding…be still my heart. I can only wish on a star that I’m blessed with a man even marginally like him. He was wonderful.All in all,this book left me very satisfied. All I want now is to know how it all turns out for Louisa in the end. Do she & Same make it? Does Treena get the job she’s always wanted? Is Lily alright? So much I wanna know. This book was wonderful. Absolutely loved it.

⭐ After You is the sequel to Jojo Moye’s Me Before You novel. Louisa returns to London and instead of doing great things like Will had wanted her to do, she is stuck in a disappointing job, lives alone, and drinks to drown her sorrows. Once, when she is on top of her building, she is startled by someone and falls. She is alive but parts of her body are broken. One of the paramedics (Sam) holds her hand with calm support while enroute to the hospital. After being in the hospital for quite awhile, she has to move back in with her parents until she is well enough to be on her own again. Her dad makes her promise to join a grief support group before he will let her live alone again and it is because of those meetings, she sees Sam again. He is a good, understanding man and is patient with Louisa as they work through whether they are or are not in a relationship. This is a different kind of love story then what you read in Me Before You, but still a good love story. Another character is Lily, a troubled teen who visits Louisa with some information from Will’s past. Lily stays with Louisa in her flat sometimes and turns her world upside down. In this story, you get to know Louisa’s family a little better, too. I loved Me Before You and I really enjoyed After You. Although both books have an ending to their story, I am hopeful there will be at least one more book so we can see what Louisa ended up doing with her life in the months and years to follow.

⭐ I saw the movie “Me Before You” after my granddaughter recommended it. She is not a big movie goer. She was right; it was outstanding and a beautiful love story. I was happy to find that there was a sequel to it in the book “After You”. Consequently, I was somewhat hooked to reading the book before I even started it. I just finished the book today. I was reading a chapter or two every night. Not because I didn’t want to finish it … I wanted to savor it! Jojo Moyes is one of the amazing writers! Every character and every scene is depicted so well that I feel I’ve been there. I can see each character in my mind, and can walk through the mansion, the airport bar, the parent’s home, the apartment and up to the rooftop. Descriptive and meaningful detail that was a treat to read. It’s hard to believe that this book was not a biography, actually. I believe that this book would be an even better movie than the first. And the first movie was a “must see”! The only con I had was personal preference about the profane language. But there again, most of the time, it was used to make at least two of the characters believable. I do recommend as a “must read”.
