## Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars and the forthcoming Someone Else's Shoes , discover the love story that captured over 20 million hearts in Me Before You, After You, and Still Me. “You’re going to feel uncomfortable in your new world for a bit. But I hope you feel a bit exhilarated too. Live boldly. Push yourself. Don’t settle. Just live well. Just live. Love, Will.” How do you move on after losing the person you loved? How do you build a life worth living? Louisa Clark is no longer just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. After the transformative six months spent with Will Traynor, she is struggling without him. When an extraordinary accident forces Lou to return home to her family, she can’t help but feel she’s right back where she started. Her body heals, but Lou herself knows that she needs to be kick-started back to life. Which is how she ends up in a church basement with the members of the Moving On support group, who share insights, laughter, frustrations, and terrible cookies. They will also lead her to the strong, capable Sam Fielding—the paramedic, whose business is life and death, and the one man who might be able to understand her. Then a figure from Will’s past appears and hijacks all her plans, propelling her into a very different future. . . . For Lou Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings. But here Jojo Moyes gives us two families, as real as our own, whose joys and sorrows will touch you deeply, and where both changes and surprises await.

Review: Wonderful sequel to ME BEFORE YOU - AFTER YOU by Jojo Moyes is the follow-up to the smashing bestseller ME BEFORE YOU. Louisa, her family, and the Traynor family are back after thousands of fans of MBY were curious, even concerned, about Louisa’s wellbeing and future. Briefly, MBY is an emotionally charged story about a young carer, Louisa, and Will Traynor, a quadraplegic. Louisa doesn’t know what she wants in life except to live a quiet life in her small town, but Will, once an outgoing, entrepreneurial, adventurous, risk-taking soul before his accident, encourages her to live the best life she can. When they first meet, Will, not unexpectedly, is suicidal. Carers have been fired or cannot cope. Until Louisa, quirky, funny and beguiling, applies for the job. Louisa falls in love with Will … but no more spoilers here, just a taster. When I heard a follow-up was been written, announced early this year, I was ecstatic you could say, like the tens of thousands of other fans. But during the period between the announcement and its release date, yesterday, I had time to ask questions – how would the author pull off a follow-up when she had no intention of writing one until the fans made a fuss? How would she plot this? Will the Traynors (Will’s parents) reappear? They weren't exactly a likeable family so maybe they’ll be forgotten, excluded? Would Louisa’s family reappear? I hoped so – their characters too were funny, loving, adorable in all their flaws. They were a constant breath of fresh air after a scene or chapter with the, cold, stiff upper-lip Traynors. So I’ve read the follow-up, AFTER YOU (in one gulp, of course), and I think Jojo Moyes really pulled it off. Yes, Louisa’s family makes a come-back, and yes, so do Will’s family, the Traynors, but they have changed, in a good way, since MBY. Some new, delightful (and not so delightful) characters are introduced, bringing quite a large cast to the mix. I won’t tell you much more than this. It’ll give away what happens in the first book, MBY, unless you start reading the reviews – I suggest you don’t read any because many of them spill the beans and ruin it. Trust me. Both books are well-crafted, superb reads (unless you're a writer and picky and notice tiny technical glitches like the change in tense at the beginning, a repetitive word or two, which is nothing, like a crumb that can be swiftly brushed aside). If you enjoy contemporary novels about family, love and loss, current societal issues, wit and humour, a cast of engaging, likable (and unlikable, not many) characters, these two unforgettable, well-paced, well-written stories won’t disappoint. And as a bonus, ME BEFORE YOU, has been made into a film, to be released next year. I'm usually disappointed with most 'novels to films', for example, ONE DAY by David Nicholls (Ann Hathaway played the lead). I don't think Nicholls wrote the screenplay and this is where adaptations can so easily fail. The great news for MBY is that Jojo Moyes wrote the screenplay and there are two fetching actors playing Louisa and Will respectively - Sam Caflin (Any Human Heart; Love, Rosie; The Hunger Games) and Emilia Clark (Game of Thrones). Something to look forward to ...
Review: A Moving Story...On A Different Level From The First - Let’s face it: Sequels can be tricky things. While in theory they are wanted/needed and seem (at the time) a good thing, the reality doesn’t always pan out. The ones that do lean more towards the “exception to the rules” spectrum. And even then, that opinion can vary from person to person. With that in mind, I give you After You by Jojo Moyes. I loved Me Before You (it’s part of my Favorites shelf), so when I heard that a sequel was coming I was excited. I was interested to see where Moyes took Lou’s story. But amidst my curiosity and excitement hovered some trepidation. Considering how beloved Me Before You is, it is one hard act to follow. It will have to take on the risk of always having it compared to its predecessor (fair or not). And I’m not going to lie. As I started to read, that automatic reaction kicked in and I found myself waiting for that exact moment when I would start having the emotional response as I did with Me Before You. But as I continued reading, a funny thing happened. I stopped doing it because After You, while continuing Lou’s journey, is a completely different animal. The book is a separate entity on its own, with different (but familiar) themes and concepts. The one thing that remains constant is the wonderful writing of Moyes. Moyes manage to beautifully capture the aftermath of Lou’s experience with Will which you soon find is not in the warm and fuzzy place that she left you with at the end of the first book. It would’ve been easy just to leave it off that way, with Lou at a Parisian cafe and finding some peace from Will’s last message to her and riding off into the sunset. But I admire Moyes for taking the other road. After You examines the concept of grief and how it can pull us back, leaving us in a state of suspended animation. Grief is not an exact science with certain rules and expiration dates. Through Lou’s attempts at “living”, you see how devastating loss can change a person. It’s not pretty. Lou often leaves you feeling just as exasperated with her as her sister, Treena. And yet, there’s a part of you that can sympathize and understand her plight because you were there with her as she tried to save Will. I loved how the rest of the book’s plots radiated from Lou’s grief and created layers to the story revolving around family, loss, love and change. The story examines what defines “family” and the different forms it takes. You read how Will’s death left a hollow space in other people’s lives besides Lou. While Lou seems to be stuck in a proverbial vortex of grief and loneliness, her mother, Josie Clark, is exploring changes in her life that threatens the status quo in her marriage. While each story seems different, they all connect and ultimately come back to Lou and her learning to carry her grief while still moving on. This is not Me Before You. I can imagine you rolling your eyes and saying “Duh!” as you read that. It’s not meant to be an insult to you or anything of the sort. It’s more of a reminder to you that this sequel will never be on the same level as its predecessor. However, there are still aspects that make this book as compelling a read as the one before. The writing is still as smart with self-deprecating humor and enjoyable as ever. The characters, both old and new, are just as complicated and sympathetic as before with a story that is just as engrossing. This book may not have the same emotional punch to the gut that Me Before You provided, but it still contained a story that moves you and resonates with you. Just on a different plane. You deprive yourself of a wonderful read if you keep it overshadowed with its predecessor’s presence. Hmmm...that sounds familiar doesn’t it?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HEARTRENDING, PERSONAL, AND UNFLINCHINGLY HONEST, AS LOUISA ATTEMPTS TO PICK UP THE PIECES
*by T***E on September 29, 2015*

As a librarian, I read scores of books each year, and I enjoy nothing more than recommending a good read to fellow book lovers. ME BEFORE YOU was my favorite adult read a couple of years back, and I was thrilled to learn that Jojo Moyes had another Louisa and Will story in her heart. Indeed, even though Will is gone, AFTER YOU is still, in a unique way, a continuation of their story. In the Robert Anderson play I Never Sang for My Father, the narrator tells us that "death ends a life, but it does not end a relationship, which struggles on in the survivor's mind toward some resolution which it may never find." AFTER YOU tells the story of Louisa Clark's painful struggle, loss, and her unresolved feelings for Will Traynor. Luckily for Louisa, and for us readers, there is a group of people who truly care about Louisa as she navigates the heartbreak of trying to settle back into her "normal" life, 18 months after the death of the man she grew to love. The hole which Will leaves in Louisa's life is vast, empty, and so painful. There are a number of new characters who slip into the space Will left in Louisa's heart; some are likeable, others take a while to warm up to. There is one surprise newcomer who throws an interesting curveball into Louisa's emotionally comatose state, and gives her something to wake up for. There is, thankfully, no easy cookie-cutter magical leading man to jump into the shoes which Louisa so wanted Will to fill, but there is something....something that takes Louisa on a journey which signals at least the potential for happiness, for meaning, for value in her life...and Louisa spends this book trying to find out what that may be. Louisa's journey helps her to find a place in her heart, and in her life, where Will still belongs...in a way she can live with, while still allowing her to look forward to truly living. I'll not write any specifics here about any of the story or its characters. I merely hope that I've convinced any readers of this review to read AFTER YOU. It is a heartrending, personal, unflinchingly honest account of this special character's efforts to put a devastating loss behind her...and come out on the other side of it with her love remaining....love for the one she lost, love for those special people in her life, and love for the life she has the opportunity to reshape and go ahead living. AFTER YOU is a different kind of magic than ME BEFORE YOU...but it is a beautiful story which reminded me once again of how worthy love is, even if we can't be certain that we won't lose it, because it is never wholly gone.
