JOJO! MOYES!!! MISS GIRL!!! i had no idea that me before you was a three book series. i only found out after browsing the library shelves!!
so, first of all,thank god louisa went to new york and did not spoil her relationship with hottie ambulance sam.
you don’t need to have read the first book if you’ve watched the movie, but i feel like reading it builds a more comprehensive world. it definitely made reading this book more enjoyable.
and hooooo boy was this book a RIDE. i was so impressed by how well expressed all the major plot points were throughout the book. many details of louisa’s life were introduced but every single one was hashed out and was not left hanging by the end of the book. the illustration of grief and moving on was also just so… perfect.
i truly loved this book—it felt like a more honest romance book. which, perhaps, is due to its contemporary nature and the foundation the first book set. all in all, this book was wonderful to read and i’m so glad i got to see what happened to louisa after will 💗
