How does Jojo Moyes do it?? How does she make me cry and laugh within pages of another? How does she make me care so much about each of her characters?

I thought this was such a stupendous sequel to "Me Before You"- I was so excited to see what Louise would be doing next, and how she carried forwards in her new life. Louise's character development continues to be one of my favorite character arcs; I think it might have been stronger in this novel than even "Me Before You".

Also, I'm SO HAPPY that Moyes continued to include such strong family elements and themes in this series. They remain one of the most endearing and entertaining aspects.

Ugh, Moyes is just too good! Loved this.

I loved this book!! After reading Me Before You, I was kind of disappointed with the ending. When I found out that there was a second book, I wasn't ecstatic but kinda wanted to know what happened. the brief description on the cover drew me in. I loved how we were able get to learn more about Louisa. I also loved the surprise twist that developed the story even more. This is a book that I would recommend to everyone (even those who haven't read Me Before You). This book will take you through the highs and lows of someone consumed with grief. Anyone grieving for any reason will find this book relatable so get your tissues ready. I know I needed them. ;)

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

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.
