There are some real surprises here (not least a completely hilarious, and touching, sub-plot between Louisa's parents), and a whole mess of drama. Like occasional edge-of-your-seat, is-this-still-a-romance drama. By which time I was so invested I just lapped it up.
I realised how much I had fallen in love with these characters when a small moment at the end made me laugh out loud and then weep with joy. It's a great progression from the first novel, with a lot more hope and maybe even happiness, and I can't wait to see how the trilogy ends.

I have had this book with me for quite a while. It has lived on my shelf for years, been with me throughout 3 different moves…possibly because I did not think this could be better than the first. I recall rushing to read the first book then passing it onto my mom before the movie dropped. And as Will would say, their story has been scored on my heart.
It was difficult for me to imagine what happens after. I feel like most of us would agree that Me Before You is a hard story to top.
That being said. I did enjoy this. It was very sad, seeing Lou go through the aftermath of Will’s passing. I did feel like it was all over the place, kinda like Louisa was. I’m not sure still how I feel about it. But, I am intrigued to see what happens next with Lou in Still Me and all the new people in her life.
I just don’t know how I feel about Lily. Like of course he has this mysterious daughter he never knew.
And the whole photos situation and the older creep…it felt very out of place and rushed???
Sam is alright but again, rushed to me. I don’t know how hopeful I am for their relationship in the next one. That was crazy though realizing she wasn’t good enough for Will to stay alive and fight but Sam believes she is. I don’t think that’s anything against Will though, mans was set on his decision before Lou was even a thought.
Oh and Lou’s father is sooooo annoying, I don’t remember him being this bad in the first book??
Because the movie is my fave, I do only picture the actors as the characters in my head, it’s cute though. Definitely want to re-read Me Before You eventually.
