JOJO! MOYES!!! MISS GIRL!!! i had no idea that me before you was a three book series. i only found out after browsing the library shelves!!

so, first of all,

thank god louisa went to new york and did not spoil her relationship with hottie ambulance sam.

you don’t need to have read the first book if you’ve watched the movie, but i feel like reading it builds a more comprehensive world. it definitely made reading this book more enjoyable.

and hooooo boy was this book a RIDE. i was so impressed by how well expressed all the major plot points were throughout the book. many details of louisa’s life were introduced but every single one was hashed out and was not left hanging by the end of the book. the illustration of grief and moving on was also just so… perfect.

i truly loved this book—it felt like a more honest romance book. which, perhaps, is due to its contemporary nature and the foundation the first book set. all in all, this book was wonderful to read and i’m so glad i got to see what happened to louisa after will 💗

A bit of a let down. I didn't feel Louisa's voice - I know the point of this book was that she lost her way, but I think it's unfair that she lost all her wit and confidence. I think the idea that her small town, low income life is shitty and she should have aspiration of "something better" and keep up with the Joneses (or Traynors, or Millers, or whatever) is a tired sentiment. And why is her family suddenly unloving, unsupportive, even to each other? And

the invention of Lily just seemed too convenient, too desperate to make a plot related to the first book. I think this book was pigeon holed into making Will the greatest love of all time and that's not what I got from Me Before You. </Spoiler> Yeah, I just had so many problems with this one.

I thought this book was rather lovely. I absolutely loved the first book-this second one felt right. When someone goes through heartbreak (especially due to someone else dying), they become someone new. I thought the author did a fantastic job demonstration how Clark went through her grief. While this book wasn’t passionate, I felt that it was as it should be after Wills death.

I loved Lily and her character. I think it was really great for Clark and the rest of Wills family to experience her. I love Sams character, but I think he’s too good for Clark. And I hate that they are in a relationship.
