Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of After You by Jojo Moyes, the stunning sequel to the worldwide phenomenon Me Before You.
Jojo Moyes says: "I hadn't planned to write a sequel to Me Before You. But working on the movie script and reading the sheer volume of tweets and emails every day asking what Lou did with her life meant that the characters never left me. It has been such a pleasure revisiting Lou and her family and the Traynors and confronting them with a whole new set of issues. As ever, they have made me laugh and cry. I hope readers feel the same way at meeting them again."

Brilliant
what a superb listen! I laughed and cried my way through it, often waking up at night to listen to just a little bit more..... At first I was thoroughly enjoying it, but then was afraid the story was about to follow a very stereotyped pattern. Not at all, fortunately. A wonderful interplay of relationships, damage and triumph with all characters really coming to life.
The book could have ended several times along the way, and the advantage of listening, rather than reading, was that I was never sure how much more of the story was left, or if it was nearing its conclusion. Ok, I could have looked to see how many chapters it comprised, but it was much more of a surprise and joy in this way.
I have loved two of Jo Jo Moyes other books, really hated one, and been ambivalent about some others. She seems a rather patchy writer, but has really hit the jackpot with this one. The narration is absolutely superb; it just couldn't be better and immensely added to the enjoyment of this story.

wasted credit
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A better story.
Would you ever listen to anything by Jojo Moyes again?
Probably.
What does Anna Acton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Saves me having achy elbows from holding the book!
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from After You?
Would never have published the book, it's totally ruined my memory of me before you, just a horrible story and so far fetched. Should have used the same narrator as me before you as well. Nobody seemed like the same character, not just the voice but also their personalities.
Any additional comments?
I would read Jojo Moyes again because I really loved Me before you.

It was ok
She did a great job of carrying on Louisa's story, in fact given the first book any story would be hard to follow and it was a well written and enjoyable read.
Nothing like the first book and to be honest I felt that Louisa's personality was a bit too different

Any additional comments?
I was a little suprised to hear that there was going to be a sequel to " me before you" but when I read what the book was going to include , I pre ordered it, and couldn't wait for it's arrival. Firstly I would say that it is impossible to create the same intensitivty that comes from Me before you, becouse of the subject matter. An impossible act to follow. . I personly enjoyed finding out what happened in the time after... A few suprises along the way too ! I thoroughly enjoyed the book.good narration .

Poor when compared to 'Me Before You'.
What was most disappointing about Jojo Moyes’s story?
I don't believe 'Me Before You' needed a sequel. It was a great book, with a solid ending. This is a long way from that. It meanders, with little discernable direction. None of the characters particulary engaged me. I didn't even recognise Louisa from the previous book. I have loved most of Jojo Moyes' work. This one just isn't up to her usual standard.

not as good
It was so depressing for the first 1/3 of the book, I thought of getting a bag of Prozac to get me through. Performer's voice was monotonous and boring and so sad, quiet and hopeless that I often had to adjust the volume to hear what was read. i kept compering it to the "me before you" audiobook, where Lou's narration was a pleasure to listen to even in the saddest moments, her voice's liveliness keeping the story somehow lighter. In this audiobook the nature of the plot plus the voice simply became too much for me. It was difficult to separate who says who rather often at the beginning and Sam's voice...God, it was the worst part of this audiobook...If you can't do male voices, hire someone who can. The last few chapters were read more like what I was expecting, but there was more Sam so it spoilt my mood anyway.

Didn't expect to love this as much as I did
What did you like most about After You?
This was a surprise because I didn't think things could get better after Me Before You - but it just did
What other book might you compare After You to, and why?
Her previous book
Have you listened to any of Anna Acton’s other performances? How does this one compare?
the previous book
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
What a silly question

Oh Dear!!!!
As sequel goes this is different. Thankfully the ending isn't as heart wrenching as Me before you. It's still leaves me asking what happens next though. Louisa is really not like the usual chick lit heroine. She is just as messed up as we know we are ourselves. Really enjoyed this book I do hope there is a third.

Riveting Sequel To Me Before You
This is the second book of Jojo Moyes series Me Before You (#2). This book is all about moving on. The first book was all about romance, love and grief. Me Before You was so poignant and the heart of that story really pulls at the strings tied to grief. There's also humor and relatability. Life just doesn't stand still and Louisa Clark's life doesn't either. Spoiler Alert - Lou has her own bad accident and is literally rescued by the paramedic that comes to aid in more than a professional way. The tone of this book is all about recovery and moving forward, which is what Will Traynor wanted for Lou. This story is all about prying free of the binds that can tie us down from grief. This book is a completely different experience from Me Before You (#1). Moyes does a great job of pulling you into Lou's journey and discovery for her own life.
Anna Acton was fantastic with the delivery of the story

Should have stopped after the first one
I thought the first book was well written. There were bits to laugh at, bits to cry at, and some plot twists I didn't see coming. Then I thought I'd follow the main character in a new book. This has me so disappointed! Really obvious plot throughout. Just not in line with the first one.. Quite boring. The struggle of moving on and the feelings there didn't seem to be explored deeply, which might have been a point in the story.
