I didn’t re-read Me Before You before diving into After You so the details weren’t fresh in my mind, but the author does a good job getting the reader up to speed. An accident forces her to deal with the past head on and find a way to move forward. In After You, Lou is dealing with the aftermath of her time with Will, and working at an airport bar but not going anywhere herself. Me Before You followed heroine Lou, caregiver to a quadriplegic named Will. Me Before You is Jojo Moyes’ smash hit novel from 2012, and now she’s back with a sequel called After You. 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.

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary Women, Romance, Contemporary, General It was a devastatingly beautiful and I have recommended it to so many people and would recommend it to anyone who loves a realistic romance but also just a beautiful story about humanity and the troubles of life.Published by Penguin on September 29th 2015 I went through every single emotion in this novel. The story addresses many problems that most people would look over or not really imagine would be a problem, which I think brings a new light towards these circumstances. It’s mainly written in Louisa’s point of view, with some others when needed, which I think brings the reader closer to her character and makes it more emotional as she experiences the different parts of her journey. Moyes writing flows easily but also gives a lot of detail which helps you put yourself into the story and relate towards how the characters feel and what they are experiencing. The characters are humanly flawed rather than solely being good or bad, which makes them much more likeable and realistic. Although it had quite unique circumstances, everyone can sort of relate or at least compare to how they would feel. This novel is such a heart-wrenching story and is definitely one that you need tissues for. I feel like the moral is embrace life and live each day to its fullest. Not only does the story contain romance but I see it as one that shows the hardships within the adult working life and how life can change at any moment. She addresses the topic of human nature and how connecting with certain people will make you see life in a happier way. The story may be about a subject that only some understand but she makes you think about what would happen and how you’d feel in that type of situation. Jojo Moyes writes in a way that makes you feel connected to the characters and I got completely lost within her words. I fell in love with this book the moment I opened it and I couldn’t put it down until I was finished. When Louisa enters his life as his new carer, she brings a new light to his life and the book covers how their relationship develops. He no longer feels the joy of living and goes through each day doing nothing but taking his medication. This is how she crosses paths with Will Traynor, who devastatingly became paralysed after a motorcycle accident. Me Before You tells the story of the quirky Louisa Clark, who unfortunately lost her job and is seeking a new one.
