After you
When one story ends, another begins . . .
Lou Clark has lots of questions.
Like how it is she’s ended up working in an airport bar, spending every shift watching other people jet off to new places.
Or why the flat she’s owned for a year still doesn’t feel like home.
Whether her close-knit family can forgive her for what she did eighteen months ago.
And will she ever get over the love of her life.
What Lou does know for certain is that something has to change.
Then, one night, it does.
But does the stranger on her doorstep hold the answers Lou is searching for – or just more questions?
Close the door and life continues: simple, ordered, safe.
Open it and she risks everything.
But Lou once made a promise to live. And if she’s going to keep it, she has to invite them in . . .

AUTHOR Q&A - Penguin
#1
You’ve said that you didn’t plan to write a sequel to Me Before You. What was it that inspired you to return to these characters in After You?
-
Since the publication of Me Before You I have received the most astonishing amount of e-mail from readers, all of whom cared deeply about Will and Lou, and many of whom wanted to know what she did next, and answering these meant that these characters never left me in the way they had with other books. When I was asked to write the film adaptation of the book, I was once again thrust into Lou’s world—and gradually found myself asking the same question. I was wary of recycling Lou’s life for the sake of it—but then I had a eureka moment, where I woke up one morning at 5:30, sat bolt upright, and wondered: “But what if that happened . . . ?” And from that point, I knew where I wanted her to go.
