![]() ![]() ![]() What was all that about Lou's mother discovering feminism and refusing to shave her legs? Aside from the cringy portrayal of feminism, why is that even in there? ![]() The various subplots feel like extra padding and seem pointless. Also, I tried really hard to sympathize, but I just despised the selfish, bratty Lily.Įverything in this book feels unnatural - created by the author to extend a story that had already been told to its full potential. ![]() The new love interest is a nice guy, but is forgettable and I never felt much chemistry between them. There's just not that much story to the book, except for the contrived "surprise from Will's past" showing up, and that just turned the book into About a Boy with female characters - lonely woman in her thirties gains new purpose from helping a problem kid. After You, on the other hand, is much more depressing for the most part - a fact that does not add depth to it. Despite the lingering sadness of Me Before You, I didn't find it to be a depressing book. It's quite enjoyable because Lou is as comical and lovable as we remember, but a certain humourous spark has disappeared now that we don't have the wonderful Lou/Will dynamic. This book attempts to tie up all loose ends in Lou's life. The result of Moyes trying to create a new episode of the story out of such questions is a book that feels like fanfiction, not a worthy sequel. ( Cinderella II: Dreams Come True, anyone?) It does not necessarily mean a book should be written to answer those questions. When we've loved a book, we all have those questions: what will the characters do now? What comes next? But these are natural questions following all loved books. After You was written to satisfy a craving in the minds of Lou and Will's fans. Like many of its fans, I've been waiting with bated breath for this sequel. When I finally gave in to the hype and read Me Before You a couple years ago, I absolutely and unapologetically loved it. It's hard to have to say this, but it's not completely unexpected either. , Remi Adefarasin (Director of Photography), Sue Baden-Powell (Executive Producer), Karen Rosenfelt (Producer), Alison Owen (Producer), Sue Baden-Powell (Unit Production Manager), Joan Schneider (Line Producer), Rebecca Milton (Art Direction), Nick Dent (Supervising Art Director), Lauren Briggs-Miller (Assistant Art Director), Sara Wan (Set Decoration), Anna Thomas (Art Department Coordinator), John Venables (Prop Maker), Ben Wilson (Camera Operator), Ben Wilson (Steadicam Operator), Drew McOnie (Choreographer), Emma Mallett (Production Supervisor), Lizzie Bull (Production Coordinator), Tim Fraser (Production Sound Mixer), Ben Collinson (Boom Operator), Mark Elson (Cableman), Jimmy Wilson (Gaffer), Ben Wilson (Rigging Gaffer), Joe Knight (Lighting Technician), Martyn Welland (Lighting Technician), Gerald Hewitt (Painter), Mark Harris (Standby Painter), Hayley Williams (Special Effects Supervisor), Charlotte Sewell (Assistant Costume Designer), Gabrielle Spanswick (Costume Supervisor), Emanuel Millar (Key Hair Stylist), Rachael Speke (Key Hair Stylist), Rachael Speke (Makeup Artist), Sue Field (Script Supervisor) and others.2 1/2 stars.
