About this ebook

THE INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON, ME BEFORE YOU, WHICH HAS SOLD OVER 8 MILLION COPIES WORLD WIDE AND IS NOW A FILM STARRING EMILIA CLARKE AND SAM CLAFLIN TOGETHER WITH THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING SEQUEL AFTER YOU IN ONE EBOOK

Me Before You
Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.

Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that.

What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time.


After You
Lou Clark has lots of questions.

Like how it is she's ended up working in an airport bar, spending every shift watching other people jet off to new places.

Or why the flat she's owned for a year still doesn't feel like home.

Whether her close-knit family can forgive her for what she did eighteen months ago.

And will she ever get over the love of her life.

What Lou does know for certain is that something has to change.

Then, one night, it does.

But does the stranger on her doorstep hold the answers Lou is searching for - or just more questions?

Close the door and life continues: simple, ordered, safe.

Open it and she risks everything.

But Lou once made a promise to live. And if she's going to keep it, she has to invite them in . . .

*****

'A tender, funny and hopeful look at love, grief and life. Bumper box of tissues required' Stylist

'Poignant . . . heartfelt . . . Me Before You, at its heart, is about two people who properly listen to each other; it is something good' The Independent on Sunday

'Funny, sad and wise, you'll be using a hankie as a bookmark' Mail on Sunday

'With its twisty plot, characters you fall in love with, weepy bits and witty bits, this is pretty much perfect' Glamour

Ratings and reviews

I was genuinely captivated with "me before you". Unfortunately, the sequel is nothing like the first. Will's story and character was the highlight of the first book, now that he is gone the new and remaining characters are uninteresting and frankly annoying to read.

Both of these are beautifully written in my own opinion. I feel the first shines a light on how all these people in the books feel and how it actually is to care for a loved one and be a career building up a relationship. I have no words on how she wrote will beautiful is all I can say. I went into reading me after you expecting so much from lou that I didn't see the reality of what she would really be facing but I loved the surprises and how it was wrote. 💚

I really loved these two books can't wait to read the third one. Also I hope they turn Me after you into a movie as well.
