After You by Jojo Moyes

Only show reviews with written explanations

Meh

If you were expecting some closure from the first book, you're not going to get it. I don't demand fairy tale endings, and I really enjoyed Me Before You ~ but this just felt like a mash up of trope. I also felt myself caring less and less about our heroine which was sad after how connected to her MBY made me feel.

Definitivanente extrañe a Will, pero senti una relativa paz al saber que Lou pudo tener un buen final

This book was a bit difficult to read because I was disappointed in the character.

I was between 3 and 4 stars for this one. While some things weren't very believable, I do appreciate how the story shows the aftermath of grief. The first book ended on a somewhat happy note with Louisa going off to explore the world, and I liked that this one showed that grief is never straightforward or simple, and how it's a true rollercoaster.

" Sometimes I felt as if we were all wading around in grief, reluctant to admit to others how far we where waving or drowning "

I really enjoyed this book! This book tells Lou's life without Will. Lou gets to meet someone very special to Will. So emotional

I had trouble getting into this one as text, but because I loved You Before Me, wanted to give it a chance, so borrowed the audio version and absolutely loved it. Moyes weaves so many stories together in this sequel and doesn't let any of her characters disappoint. Highly recommend.

I wonder if there a book JoJo Moyes has written than WON’T have me weeping at least once throughout it. This was initially a slow sequel for me, felt like it would follow the same formula as Me Before You, but it quickly became its own story as well as a very good sequel. I’m in love with Luisa Clark and her story.
