Review after the read
3 - Because I love Jojo Moyes - Stars
I'm sorry, I'm very sorry to say that I would've preferred that this book was never born. I'll try to forget. For me Lou & Will's story ended with the last page of Me before you. I don't think we needed a new story.
I'm not saying this is bad, it's Jojo - it can't, but it just kind of ruined part of what I imagined for Lou after the end of the first book. And every single time I read Will's name in this my heart skipped a beat, and I confessed I was a little bit annoyed with all those characters, it was like if they were "intruding" our story. And I'm sorry to say that the most annoying and boring part was Lily. I couldn't care less about her. And surprisingly my favorite part/character was Sam, the one that I should've hate but instead I adored.
I really don't know what to say about this book, probably I shouldn't have read it, but I couldn't resist. So, if you loved the first book and you're not sure about this, I'd say that you can easily skip this one and continue to imagine what you want about their lives... because it's probably better of what really happened. But if you really want to read it, then read it like if this is a new story and you don't know who Will was, even if it's impossible, you have to forget everything you knew about them.
Anyway, if you read it prepare your tissues, it's always Jojo Moyes ;)
------------------------
I'm gonna die.
I'm happy
and scared
because I can already imagine what's going to happen... to me.
I'm not ready for this.

Siii!! Io sono terrorizzata perchè so che sarà stupendo, mi farà ridere sicuramente, ma sono certa che mi farà piangere ogni volta che spunta il nome di Will. Paura. I video poi mi uccidono ancora di più!! E pensare che ne stanno facendo il film!!
Absolutely wonderful. I laughed, cried, got a bit angry at times and I loved it. Please oh please ween need #3 !
thanks to your review, I'm not gonna read the sequel, as I finished Me before You yesterday and I don't feel like I want to :(

Do you think so? It is just that I feel as if I didn't want to know anything else about Louisa without Will.Anyway, thanks for your review, I liked it :) I'm going to watch the movie next week, as it is released on July 1st here, in Spain.

In this case, forget about it, you will end hating it.
You're lucky, here in Italy we have to wait September to see the movie :(
September? :o well, you can also take a holiday in Spain this summer! hahaciao!
Can somebody tell me what had happened in the AFTER U part.? I'm dying to know the story after the ME BEFORE U broke my heart badly...at least tell me if Will resurfaced in this part 2????
