Not often is a sequel to a riveting classic such as Me Before You a novel almost as good as its prequel. After You is a million times better than I'd expected. It wasn't horribly weepy or sappy or angry. I'd expected something like Tobias at the end of Allegiant (*barf*). But it was completely the opposite. The reader is able to grow with Lou as she begins to learn how to move on and the loss of Will fades into the background. New characters and conflicts enter stage left and it is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Not just a crummy, sappy follow-up but a fully developed book with a well written and engaging plot. Bravo, Ms. Moyes. Well done.
