I have had this book with me for quite a while. It has lived on my shelf for years, been with me throughout 3 different moves…possibly because I did not think this could be better than the first. I recall rushing to read the first book then passing it onto my mom before the movie dropped. And as Will would say, their story has been scored on my heart.
It was difficult for me to imagine what happens after. I feel like most of us would agree that Me Before You is a hard story to top.
That being said. I did enjoy this. It was very sad, seeing Lou go through the aftermath of Will’s passing. I did feel like it was all over the place, kinda like Louisa was. I’m not sure still how I feel about it. But, I am intrigued to see what happens next with Lou in Still Me and all the new people in her life.
I just don’t know how I feel about Lily. Like of course he has this mysterious daughter he never knew.
And the whole photos situation and the older creep…it felt very out of place and rushed???
Sam is alright but again, rushed to me. I don’t know how hopeful I am for their relationship in the next one. That was crazy though realizing she wasn’t good enough for Will to stay alive and fight but Sam believes she is. I don’t think that’s anything against Will though, mans was set on his decision before Lou was even a thought.
Oh and Lou’s father is sooooo annoying, I don’t remember him being this bad in the first book??
Because the movie is my fave, I do only picture the actors as the characters in my head, it’s cute though. Definitely want to re-read Me Before You eventually.

This book was a fun read. I enjoyed the plot, and despite not reading the first book, I caught on quickly. The characters were very unique and lovable. Even some of the background characters still easily stuck in your mind. Louisa definitely shows the struggle of being young and yet struggling with the past-especially since young love can be so strong. Even if we knew someone for a brief period of time, they can have a serious effect on our lives. She also very much showed the struggle of sudden obstacles coming your way (as they often do in life, unfortunately).
I throughly enjoyed this author’s writing style. She made the characters and plot realistic and relatable. The book had many twists and turns, which kept me engaged. I would often think it was going to go one way, and then it wouldn’t. Since I personally related to some themes of this book, it had a special touch for me especially.
I definitely plan on reading the other books in this series and maybe even others by this author.
