This is the sequel to Me Before You. It picks up roughly 6 months after the book ends. Louisa had been traveling and returned to London. She is working in an airport bar pretty much hating the job. She meets Sam, an ambulance worker at the same time that someone from Will's past comes into her life. The book goes through Lou and the tentative beginnings of a relationship with Sam, dealing with some unexpected family issues in addition to this person from Will's past and all the feelings that dredges up. Very well written. ( )

Great book! I love this author. ( )

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. ( )

This follows on directly from the previous book. Louisa is trying to cope with her loss and is working in an airport bar. After a freak accident she reconnects with her family and tries to change her life

Sadly this book promised much but didn't deliver. It's a very mediocre read and not what you'd expect after the first book.

Her relationship with the young girl who comes into her life is just silly

I won't be bothering to read the third book. ( )

KIRKUS REVIEWMoyes? sequel to her bestselling Me Before You (2012)�which was about Louisa, a young caregiver who falls in love with her quadriplegic charge, Will, and then loses him when he chooses suicide over a life of constant pain¥examines the effects of a loved one?s death on those left behind to mourn.It's been 18 months since Will?s death, and Louisa is still grieving. She's settled in a London flat purchased with money Will left her and taken a dreary waitressing job at an airport pub. After falling off her apartment roof terrace in a drunken state, she momentarily fears she?ll end up paralyzed herself, but Sam, the paramedic who treats her, does a great job¥and she's lucky. Louisa convalesces in the bosom of her family in the village of Stortfold, and Moyes is at her most charming here, writing with a sense of humorous affection about family dynamics among working-class Brits. When Louisa returns to London, a troubled 16-year-old named Lily turns up on her doorstep saying Will was her father though he never knew it because her mother thought he was "a selfish arsehole" and never told him she was pregnant. Louisa also joins a formulaically familiar support group that adds little to the story except as a device for her to reconnect cute with paramedic Sam, who stops by to pick up a group member Louisa assumes is his son. While developing wonderfully nuanced characters like Will?s grieving parents¥particularly his mother, who forms a surprisingly deep bond with Lily¥Moyes weakens the novel with stock villains like Lily?s narcissistic upper-middle-class mom. As the love interest, handsome, patient, sensitive Sam is too good to be true. Narrator Louisa is not quite as much fun this time around, but the optimistic final pages hint that her adventures may continue into another book.Moyes is a Maeve Binchy for the 21st century, and she has the formula down pat: an understanding of family dynamics, a nod to social issues, plenty of moral uplift, and a sentimental streak, all buoyed by a rollicking sense of humor.
