As a standalone fiction, this would have been good but as a sequel to Me Before You, which set the bar SO high, it became average. That doesn't take away the fact that I still rooted for Lou & got pissed at her for a few of her actions.

It is not everyday that you get to read a sequel to a book, which you never expected to happen nor wanted to happen. 'After you' by Jojo Moyes is a sequel to one of her previous books 'Me before you'. Me before you was one of a kind. In the end it made the reader both laugh and cry. But, the story of Lou Clark continues beyond 'me before you', in this 'after you'. Losing a loved one is not so easy to deal with. It takes time to heal, and though it is difficult to forget, it might take years just to make you smile at those memories, rather than shed a tear whenever you hear the name. Now, let us go into the review of it.When i started reading this book, what i expected was another story similar to P.S I love you by Cecilia Ahern. But, it was not going to be.Lou Clark still hasn't recovered from what she has witnessed and what she has been a part of. She made a promise to live, but she is yet to start living. And she looks like she still hasn't started working on the promise.After Will, she is on her own. It had been 18 months, but she is still not over to it. And she still has plans to start over, but she herself doesn't know when. All she does is sleep, eat and her job at the airport bar. She slips and falls from her building. But, she lives with just a few fractures. Her parents are worried and during her stay at her parents home, she feels that she is slowly being sucked back into her former world, which was very small until Will came.One might say that she is still getting over it. Yes. She is getting over the tragedy. So, this novel should have been about her. About how she kept up her promise that she made. But, this is not about that.Though the novel totally does become an antidote for that sore disappointment, it might have done better without Lily. The character of Lily looked like an unwelcome addition. Apart from that, the book was a breeze. It took me one night to complete it. All the new characters and new budding romantic plots takes the story to the heart of the readers.
