A bit of a let down. I didn't feel Louisa's voice - I know the point of this book was that she lost her way, but I think it's unfair that she lost all her wit and confidence. I think the idea that her small town, low income life is shitty and she should have aspiration of "something better" and keep up with the Joneses (or Traynors, or Millers, or whatever) is a tired sentiment. And why is her family suddenly unloving, unsupportive, even to each other?  And

the invention of Lily just seemed too convenient, too desperate to make a plot related to the first book. I think this book was pigeon holed into making Will the greatest love of all time and that's not what I got from Me Before You. </Spoiler> Yeah, I just had so many problems with this one.

I thought this book was rather lovely. I absolutely loved the first book-this second one felt right. When someone goes through heartbreak (especially due to someone else dying), they become someone new. I thought the author did a fantastic job demonstration how Clark went through her grief. While this book wasn’t passionate, I felt that it was as it should be after Wills death. 

I loved Lily and her character.  I think it was really great for Clark and the rest of Wills family to experience her. I love Sams character, but I think he’s too good for Clark. And I hate that they are in a relationship.
