I was disappointed in this book because I have been a fan of Jojo Moyes for a long time. For me, the sequel detracted from Me Before You, which is a well-written, stand-alone novel with engaging characters. After You is a weak attempt to recreate what should have been left alone. The characters in After You are cliché-ridden and one-dimensional with implausible situations such as Louisa sharing marijuana with the teenager when the girl moves in with her. I hope that Ms. Moyes will now turn her talented hand to writing a book worthy of her time and ours.
