Second book that occurs after Me Before You (same author).
After Will is gone, Louisa is meant to break out of her tiny little world and truly live. Can she do as Will wished? Will she be able to make it? Will she be able to move on?
After reading Me Before You and the emotional coaster that book put me on I was a bit trepidatious about this one. I said before that between the book and the movie it was a great story but Louisa drove me nuts in the book. Well the Louisa in After You...honestly this one was not nearly as emotionally charged as the first book. I appreciate that moving on from the death of a loved one is difficult and that trying to find your way is even harder and Louisa was no exception to this. She joins an emotional support group because her parents forced her to. She has an accident which brought her back to her parents house. New characters walk into her life some of which she has no control over. I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as the first one however I needed to know what happened to Louisa after Will. This book still left me on a cliff, however the ending of this book, just like Me Before You left me with open possibilities. I feel like this was more of an extra chapter than Louisa's ending. You see her emotional struggles, Will's parents struggles and the trickle down affect his death left on everyone around him. Louisa is the type of character that I don't think will ever get it together (like of all of us in a small way tho) but it's about family, support and coping with things.
If you're really curious about how she is after Will, then pick this up. If you want the reader's digest version - give me a call and I'll spill.
