This Mass Market Paperback edition, published by Penguin Books UK in 2016, continues Lou's journey as she navigates life after the profound loss of Will Traynor.

Following the heartbreaking events of "Me Before You," Lou is struggling to find her footing. Plagued by survivor's guilt and a deep sense of loss, she feels adrift and uncertain about her future. She's back in her old flat, working an unfulfilling job at an airport bar, and attending a grief support group that initially seems more bizarre than helpful. But life, as it always does, has unexpected twists in store. A near-fatal accident forces Lou to re-evaluate her choices and confront the realities she's been avoiding. She finds herself drawn to a new cast of characters who challenge her, support her, and ultimately help her rediscover her zest for life. Among them is Lily, a troubled teenager claiming to be Will's daughter, who brings both chaos and a renewed sense of purpose to Lou's world. As Lou tentatively embraces new experiences, including a foray into the dating world, she learns valuable lessons about resilience, the importance of connection, and the transformative power of self-discovery. The novel delves into the complexities of man-woman relationships, the bonds of family (both found and biological), and the challenges faced by young women carving out their own identities. Set against the backdrop of England, "After You" paints a vivid picture of contemporary life, exploring themes of love, loss, identity, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. Moyes' signature writing style, characterized by its emotional depth, relatable characters, and witty dialogue, makes this a truly unputdownable read. Expect tears, laughter, and a renewed appreciation for the preciousness of life. Readers who enjoyed "Me Before You" and other contemporary romances with strong female leads will be captivated by Lou's continued journey in "After You." This novel touches upon difficult themes with sensitivity and offers a message of hope and the possibility of finding happiness even after profound loss.
