“You’re going to feel uncomfortable in your new world for a bit. But I hope you feel a bit exhilarated too. Live boldly. Push yourself. Don’t settle. Just live well. Just live. Love, Will.”

 
How do you move on after losing the person you loved? How do you build a life worth living?
 
Louisa Clark is no longer just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. After the transformative six months spent with Will Traynor, she is struggling without him. When an extraordinary accident forces Lou to return home to her family, she can’t help but feel she’s right back where she started.
 
Her body heals, but Lou herself knows that she needs to be kick-started back to life. Which is how she ends up in a church basement with the members of the Moving On support group, who share insights, laughter, frustrations, and terrible cookies. They will also lead her to the strong, capable Sam Fielding—the paramedic, whose business is life and death, and the one man who might be able to understand her. Then a figure from Will’s past appears and hijacks all her plans, propelling her into a very different future. . . .
 
For Lou Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings. 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.… (more)

Still an emotional read, but not quite as sad as the first part. ( )

Louisa Clark after Will's death
  tilmar | Nov 27, 2024 |
The author manages to use the word "automaton" TWICE in this book, including once in protest dialogue. Reminder to self: never use the word automaton in speech, thought, or writing. The jarring use of this word is what I will remember most about this book. ( )

The narrator was rushed? She didn't make the effort to differentiate the voices very often, and I really had trouble figuring out who was speaking.

As a romance/ family drama, this is fine. What makes this series more than chick lit is the issues it tackles. In the first, of course, it's all about assisted suicide. I got the impression Moyes wanted let the readers decide for themselves if & when that's ok. In this book, at least so far, it's made clear that it's never ok. This book, even more than the first, is all about class distinctions... the rich are different. Of course, you can ignore that theme if you just want to focus on Louisa and her misadventures, but imo the book is better for being more than fluff.

One thing Moyes did wrong was make her characters act stupidly. The very first thing that should have been said when introducing Lily to family is that "Will didn't know." I'm at the point where they just sent Will's mum into shock because they said that far too far into the explanation. They would not have done so if Moyes hadn't made them to.

There's also the bit where they rescued Lily from a bad guy. But they didn't do anything to discourage him from preying on other young girls ( )

Quotations
"Du hast mir kein verdammtes Leben übrig gelassen, oder? Von wegen. Du hast einfach nur mein altes Leben kaputt gemacht. Es in einen Scherbenhaufen verwandelt. Was soll ich jetzt mit den ganzen Bruchstücken anfangen? Wann wird es endlich..." Ich streckte die Arme aus, bekommen Gänsehaut in der kühlen Nachtluft und merke, dass ich wieder einmal weine. "Fuck you, Will", flüstere ich. "Fuck you dafür, dass du mich verlassen hast." (S. 18/19)

Book description
The sequel to the worldwide phenomenon Me Before You. Lou Clark has lots of questions. Like how it is she's ended up working in an airport bar, spending every shift watching other people jet off to new places. Or why the flat she's owned for a year still doesn't feel like home. Whether her close-knit family can forgive her for what she did eighteen months ago. And will she ever get over the love of her life. What Lou does know for certain is that something has to change. Then, one night, it does. But does the stranger on her doorstep hold the answers Lou is searching for - or just more questions? Close the door and life continues: simple, ordered, safe. Open it and she risks everything. But Lou once made a promise to live. And if she's going to keep it, she has to invite them in...
