How do I say this?
Last year I got obsessed with “Me Before You” movie. Instead of reading the book, I decided to buy the second one. Worst decision ever.

This book is miserable, and I’m sorry for the people who liked it, but I hated it so much that it took me 3 hours to read 5 chapters. Every. Single. Day.

Louisa, I love this girl, but can’t her life be a little bit happier? Like, really, there wasn’t a chapter where good things happened to her at all, maybe the last one, but that’s it.

Sam is a meh. They got close too fast, and when he told her to move on from Will????? Man, I know you see people die everyday and you’re a cold dickhead, but fuck, let her grieve. I don’t want her to end up with someone like that. Maybe there won’t be better than Will, but honey, look for someone decent please.

Lily is an ungrateful bitch. I hate her, she was UNNECESSARY. The only time I liked her was when she didn’t appear.

I had high hopes, and I’m sorry, but reading this book was a horrible experience. I know, I didn’t expect Lou’s life would be better after Will’s death. But I pretty much prefer thinking she needed up living in Paris, happy.

I give it 1,5⭐️, (I think I’m being too generous), and there’s a third book? Hell no.
