I loved this books so much more than the first. I laughed, I sobbed, I screamed, I felt every emotion there is to feel while reading this incredible book. Beautifully written, completely relatable. I just can’t put into words how much I loved this book! If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would!

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.

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.
