It reflects well the realities of grief, and as much as I'd wanted Lou to bounce back into an amazing life it is entirely believable that she doesn't. I didn't expect quite as many traumatic events as she ends up facing however! This sequel is, in many places, quite bleak. I suppose I should have known better, and I should have been prepared for the fact that any sequel wasn't going to be just a nice, easy, happy ending for Lou. I had been looking forward to seeing Lou's future and had, of course, imagined all sorts of wondrous events and activities for her in my head. If you just start with this book here you won't know what's going on, or who anyone is! I am speaking a little cryptically since it's one of those books you have to read first without knowing too much about it, so if you haven't read it yet pop along and get a copy and then you can sit down and take a look at this one.
I found Me Before You an incredibly engaging, and totally traumatic read! I loved the characters, and although the book didn't have the ending I wanted, it probably had the ending it had to have. Would she be okay? Would she live her life with passion? Where would she go next? So the arrival of this story is a special treat, as it continues the tale of Lou, although perhaps not in the way we had imagined… Having been on the edge of our armchairs during the story, we all wanted to know what happened to Lou next. After writing the massively popular Me Before You, all of Jojo Moyes' readers were clamouring for more.
