Genre: Contemporary Fiction/Romantic Fiction
Lou has moved to London. 
Her life is chaotic & unfullilled. She is working in a bar in an airport 
& attending a grief counselling group which doesn't really seem to be helping, but she also feel she is not worthy of. She smokes, & drinks 
more than she would care to admit. She bought an apartment with the money that she was left, although, the space remains undecorated, sparsely furniture & largely uncared for as she sees it as somewhere she uses it solely to eat 
& sleep, 
,& is rarely there anyway.

& the offer of a job in New York. Who owns the voice from the roof & what do they want from Lou? Could it be connected to her past?I was made aware during a hospital 
stay that Jojo Moyes had in fact written two other books 
Me Before You. A tea lady 
gave me her copy of this books 
I purchased the third. I personally adore trilogies & stories that re-introduce past characters either brought in at the beginning of a story or from a previous novel. Especially when it's unexpected. Even though Lou has a different life away from her quiet home town & her family, Will 
still influences her mood & her daily life as she is still carrying a lot of guilt. His family 
are still very much a presence in this book together with the presence of a new female member 
of the Traynor dynasty.

of the first novel & read the other two books, the characters had really come to life for me & felt like real people. I wish that films had been made of the last two publications. Eventually, the highs & lows of the relationship between Lou & Sam 
really made me want them to be together. 
As she leaves for her new job 3,459 miles away, it leaves you wondering what the future holds....
