After you
By JoJo Moyes
Book Review by Maureen Therou
I read Moyes book Me Before You a couple of years ago, then saw the movie. Now Moyes has written a sequel called After You. I totally loved Louisa Clark after the first book, and I was even more impressed with her character in After You.
This is a novel about coming through grief after the one you love has died. Sounds rather depressing, but Moyes has a way of making you chuckle throughout the entire book. You travel with Louisa as she takes on a troubled teen, Lily, an unknown daughter of Will Traynor. Louisa became the caretaker of Traynor, a quadriplegic, and she developed a loving relationship with him. His death left Louisa in a sea of despair.
Enter Sam, a paramedic who met Louisa in a very unusual way. Will Louisa be able to work her way through her grief to be able to lead a full life again? Moyes will keep your emotions soaring as she writes unpredictably throughout the book. I felt this was a great read; Moyes does not disappoint.
