Me Before You / After You / Still Me by Jojo Moyes - Audible Version

Me Before You

After You

 Still Me 

by Jojo Moyes

Audible Version

☆☆☆☆☆

I had seen the movie. It was wonderful. 

I loved it. Now, a friend highly suggested

the series. My library had all three stories.

The audible versions. I dived it. 

The first one, Me Before You, was very much

like the movie. Which means it was great. 

I never have any trouble seeing characters 

faces in my head as I read or listen to stories.

But this time, they were already there. 

I could not wait to move onto the second

installment, After You. I wasn't sure with the 

beginning. But very shortly, I could see it all in my

head. Louisa and her life as she moved on. 

Then, in the third book, she has moved on. 

Well, sort of. 

Louisa stays true to herself. 

And once you get to know her, you will recognize

that she is every woman. Her family and her life. 

It's the story of all of us. 

The narration is terrific. Jojo Moyes is a 

terrific storyteller. I will move onto 

more from her.

Me Before You - Movie Review

Me Before You
Movie Review

Released 3 June 2016
Running time is 1 hour 50 minutes

When I saw the trailers for this movie, I was sure
it was going to be so sad. Depressing. A real downer.
Which, when I think about it, I wonder why anyone
would ever want to see such a movie?? But I did.
My husband even came with me.
Both of the starring actors were completely

new to us. We didn't recognize either of them.


There really is not much I can say about
Me Before You without spoiling it. Only that we
enjoyed it. We both did. I did tear up a
couple times.  But in the end, the story was a
magnificent one of love and broadening ones
horizons. I will say, please, keep your mind
open at the end. We both thought it was
a fabulously done movie and a great ending.
Really, the best possible way to end it.
