A little weaker than Me Before You in my opinion. However, this book describes the character's complicated feelings about her grief and relationships
I've been waiting for this book for a very long time and couldn't believe it when I saw it on a bookstore shelf before its official worldwide release, I bought and started reading it. Now, I'm going to comment first on why people were so upset with this book? I really thought I was going to read an awfully written sequence but it was the opposite. And actually, you can't call it a sequence but more like a CLOSURE to Lou's life. This book gives a reasonable ending to Lou's life. To be honest, Lou wasn't going to have a REAL life with Will because of his disability, even if she loved him and remained loving him, he had to die in the first book so Lou can have a normal life. It was tragic yes, but very reasonable.
Moving on to After You. As I said this book is a closure to Lou's life after Will. We see her dealing with his loss in a very messy way, being scared of new feelings and dealing with Will's problems even after his death. Which I feel it was irrelevant to the story. Why give Will a daughter he didn't know about and make Lou deal with his and her mess?! That I couldn't understand and kind of didn't like.
I loved Sam's character all, I actually fell in love with him too (can't wait to see this book as a movie). Donna his partner is such an entertaining character. Lou herself is still witty and funny even though she can be a little frustrating with all her sadness and so but that's a normal thing.
I loved this book. It made me laugh, be angry, and happy at the end :)

Hm, I really like this book. It is almost better than first book, Me Before You. But I don't know why it's better than first one. Oh well.
So whiney, should’ve either stayed a one off because the first book was about perfect; or only followed the grief. It was too annoying to even stomach finishing
*3.5* because:
It’s cliche
It shouldn’t have been written
BUT I put four stars down just for the sake of the first book being good. I feel bad for not giving it a great review, because I know the author got a lot a lot of response to write a second book. I still enjoyed it though, because I was attached to the characters from Me Before You. I would still read it it if you enjoyed the first!!

My rating is really be 4.5. I love Louisa, her crazy family, Lily, and Sam. Would really love to read more about these characters.
