After You Jojo Moyes, 2015 Penguin Publishing 368 pp. ![]() Where Me Before You occasionally drifted into manipulative sentimentality, here Moyes has crafted a clear-eyed tale of self-discovery and the sacrifice required to live a life honestly in pursuit of the things you love. Even if you haven’t read the previous entries in the trilogy, there’s still much to be gleaned from these pages. At last, Louisa, and Moyes in turn, faces up to the challenge of boldly seeing inside her own heart as she works to make an ordinary life something extraordinary. For fans of the previous novels, Moyes has crafted a worthy conclusion to her trilogy, offering a finale brimming with pathos and warmth. Louisa herself is a heroine with whom you could spend endless hours – her generosity of spirit, sincerity, and gently self-deprecating inner monologue make it obvious why Moyes and readers have stuck with her through three books. ![]()
