After You by Jojo Moyes

Me Before You is one of the best books I've ever read.  I LOVE that book!  With the movie in theatres right now it has received a lot of attention.  I've seen a lot of people I know quickly trying to read the book before the movie.  I haven't seen the movie yet.  I will soon.  But while everyone is rushing to read the amazing Me Before You that I've know to be amazing for years, I've moved on to the sequel.

I think many people are unaware that there is a sequel.  Spread the word!  A sequel has big shoes to fill to one of my favourite books ever.   After You is not quite the heart wrenching love story that Me Before You is, but it is actually a very good sequel.  There were a few rapid page turning moments.  No kleenex required.  You can read it in public and not fear embarrassment.  But definitely read the sequel.  Definitely read the first book before you see the movie.  

Me Before You - Jojo Moyes

Tonight I'm meeting up with my book club to discuss Me Before You by Jojo Moyes.  I had seen a lot about this book on different blogs.  I actually picked it for this month's choice.  I expected a bit of a tear jerker.  I had never read anything by Jojo Moyes before.  I LOVED it!  5 out of 5 stars!  The story is about Will Traynor who is living life to it's fullest when he is suddenly suffers a tragic accident and is left a quadriplegic.  Louisa Clark is hired by Will's mother to bring a little life back into Will's life.  Lou is determined to show Will a good time and that there's still a lot of life left in him.  I loved the snarly banter between the two main characters. Yes, there were a few tears but I laughed more than I cried.  This is a perfect choice for book club tonight and I know there will be some great discussion.  I can't wait to read more by Jojo Moyes.
