3.0

This was a solid read. I liked the book overall. If you are expecting a novel as engrossing and heart-wrenching as it’s predecessor, Me Before You, you will be disappointed. This is a continuation of Louisa’s story and this book could nearly stand alone apart from the first book. From that viewpoint, it’s a good book and a good story. I like the most of the characters they introduced in this book and I like where it led the main character. There are some frustrating parts and Louisa can be really irritating. There were one or two elements towards the end and a storyline about her parents I could have done without but overall it did leave me interested to read the third book, Still Me.
