Praise for After You:
Jojo Moyes has a hit with After You.
-USA Today
Think Elizabeth Bennet after Darcy's eventual death; Alice after Gertrude; Wilbur after Charlotte. The 'aftermath' is a subject most writers understandably avoid, but Moyes has tackled it and given readers an affecting, even entertaining female adventure tale about a broken heroine who ultimately rouses herself and falls in love again, this time with the possibilities in her own future..
-Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, NPR
The genius of Moyes . . . [is that she] peers deftly into class issues, social mores, and complicated relationships that raise as many questions as they answer. And yet there is always resolution. It's not always easy, it's not always perfect, it's sometimes messy and not completely satisfying. But sometimes it is.
-Bobbi Dumas, NPR.org

Like its predecessor [Me Before You], After You is a comic and breezy novel that also tackles bigger, more difficult subjects, in this case grief and moving on. . . .

-Miami Herald
Once again, Moyes delivers a heart-wrenching and relatable book about love and loss that will stay with you long after you've finished.
