After You: A Novel (Me Before You Trilogy)

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes, discover the love story that captured over 20 million hearts in Me Before You, After You, and Still Me.

“You’re going to feel uncomfortable in your new world for a bit. But I hope you feel a bit exhilarated too. Live boldly. Push yourself. Don’t settle. Just live well. Just live. Love, Will.”


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.

I really liked the first book. Louisa Clark was an interesting character, and her development was solid. This book, and the addition of Lily, was too cliché and it was difficult to like much about it. Disappointing.

I enjoyed reading this book, a follow up to the book Me before You, But this just didn't have the emotion touch as the first book.

What happens to Louisa Clark after Will's death. This was nowhere near as good as "Me Before You" which I loved.

I liked the way this book showed the realities of grief, often one step forward and two steps back. I also liked going back to visit Lou and finding out that Paris was not the answer long term and that the "happy" ending of the first book was not all that happenedn.
