This is the preorder the stunning sequel to me before you, after you, now. The heartbreaking novel of the year from Jojo Moyes proves you're never too old or young to cry. 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. The Author Jojo Moyes is a novelist and a journalist. She worked at the Independent for ten years before leaving to write full-time. Her previous novels have all been critically acclaimed and include Me Before You, The Girl You Left Behind and the Sunday Times number 1 bestseller The One Plus One. Me Before You has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and went to the top of the charts in 9 countries, including in Germany where it held the number 1 slot for 46 weeks. She is one of the few authors to have had 3 novels on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time. A major film adaptation of Me Before You, starring Sam Clafin (The Hunger Games) and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), is currently in production. Jojo lives in Essex with her husband and their three children. Praise for Me Before You: Poignant ... heartfelt ... Me Before You, at it's heart, is about two people who properly listen to each other; it is something good . (The Independent on Sunday). A disarmingly moving love story ... a lovely novel, both nontraditional and enthralling. (Publishers Weekly). A compelling novel of life and death decisions and unlikely affections. It's magical and heartbreaking, but doesn't shy away from difficult emotional realities. Waterproof mascara essential. (Marie Claire). When I finished this novel, I didn't want to review it: I wanted to reread it ... An affair to remember. (Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review). This truly beautiful story made us laugh, smile and sob like a baby - you simply have to read it. (Closer). Heartbreaking, soul-searching and utterly compelling. (Easy Living). Compelling, moving and absorbing. It's also a real weepie. (Daily Express). Destined to be the novel that friends press upon each other more than any other next year, it is a tremendous example of what commercial fiction can do when in the hands of an expert. Moyes does a majestic job of conjuring a cast of characters who are charismatic, credible and utterly compelling; Lou and Will are a couple who readers will take to their hearts as they did One Day's Emma and Dex. (The Independent). Funny, believable and heartbreaking, this is sure to be the weepy of 2012. (Woman's Own). Poignant and beautifully written, this book will stay with you long after you've put it down. (Star Magazine). A compelling portrait of an unlikely couple. (The Independent). Me Before You is a page-turner that sucks the reader into caring about the fate of the heroine ... By turns funny and moving but never predictable. The plot contains a number of surprises and raises thoughtful question. (USA Today). A perceptive and moving tale. (The Independent). Funny, surprising and heartbreaking, populated with characters who are affecting and amusing ... This is a thought-provoking, thoroughly entertaining novel that captures the complexity of love. (People). Beautifully written. (The Sun). Another powerful love story. A deftly plotted narrative populated with likeable engaging characters ... a bittersweet story about love, learning and letting go. It's a tremendous read and I loved it. (Daily Mail). Keep the tissues close as Jojo Moyes returns with Me Before You, a heartbreaking yet ultimately uplifting tale about the relationship between an embittered quadriplegic man and the carer who is trying to give him a reason to live. (Good Housekeeping). An unlikely love story ... To be devoured like candy, between tears. (O, The Oprah Magazine). Read it and weep: Heartbreak collides with humour in Jojo Moyes' Me Before You. (Good Housekeeping USA). Jojo Moyes has done it again with this funny, touching tale that is impossible to put down. Make sure you have a box of tissues to hand! (Candis). At last, a new Moyes novel - and it's a triumph. Her story of love blossoming in the most unlikely of ways packs such an emotional punch, you'll need a box of tissues. (Elle). Jojo Moyes' poignantly romantic tales have readers streaming their way through boxes of Kleenex ... Me Before You is compelling reading ... a profound, fundamental, thought-provoking conundrum lies at the heart of the story, a huge moral dilemma, explored with great fictional finesse. Devotees of Jojo Moyes and newcomers alike will settle into this entertaining book with gusto. (Sunday Express). Romantic, thought-provoking tear-jerker than you won't be able to put down. (Woman & Home).

Work Description

Louisa Clark is an ordinary young woman living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has never been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair-bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.

Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.

A love story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?
