Jojo Moyes has a rare talent in that she can make you laugh with the best of them, as well as cause tears at the drop of a hat. Her grief has detached her from life, and then a startling accident lands her back in her family home. “AFTER YOU picks up where ME BEFORE YOU ended, and finds Lou Clark floundering after the death of her first love, Will Traynor. But once enough people were convinced by booksellers to read this magnificent story, it became a blockbuster! They were NOT going to read a love story between a young woman caregiver and a paraplegic. But I cringed when they would turn to the back to read the premise of the story.

Believe you me, when I would slap the book in a reader’s hand and tell her she had to read it, she would get excited. The reason ME BEFORE YOU was what they call a ” word-of-mouth” sensation was because of the subject matter. I could not wait to find out what Louisa Clark was up to how she was managing her life without Will, who was the love of her life. 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.My finished copy of AFTER YOU arrived on my doorstep this past week. Then a figure from Will's past appears and hijacks all her plans, propelling her into a very different future.įor Lou Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings. 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. 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. Her body heals, but Lou herself knows that she needs to be kick-started back to life. 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. After the transformative six months spent with Will Traynor, she is struggling without him. Louisa Clark is no longer just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. How do you move on after losing the person you loved? How do you build a life worth living? But I hope you feel a bit exhilarated too. 'You're going to feel uncomfortable in your new world for a bit. 'We all lose what we love at some point, but in her poignant, funny way, Moyes reminds us that even if it's not always happy, there is an ever after.' - Miami Herald
