After you

Moyes, Jojo, 1969- (Author).

How do you move on after losing the person you loved? How do you build a life worth living? Louisa Clark is no longer just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life. After the transformative six months spent with Will Traynor, she is struggling without him. When an extraordinary accident forces Lou to return home to her family, she can't help but feel she's right back where she started. Her body heals, but Lou herself knows that she needs to be kick-started back to life. Which is how she ends up in a church basement with the members of the Moving On support group, who share insights, laughter, frustrations, and terrible cookies. They will also lead her to the strong, capable Sam Fielding--the paramedic, whose business is life and death, and the one man who might be able to understand her. Then a figure from Will's past appears and hijacks all her plans, propelling her into a very different future... For Lou Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings. But here Jojo Moyes gives us two families, as real as our own, whose joys and sorrows will touch you deeply, and where both changes and surprises await.

Louisa Clark received unwanted notoriety when, as one of the caregivers for paraplegic tycoon Will Traynor, she attended his death by suicide in Switzerland. She is now back home in London, renting a small apartment near (but not far enough from) her loving, anxious parents and her bossy sister. She has a waitress job in an Irish-themed airport bar. Her family have persuaded her to join a grief support group to help with her recovery. One day a stranger knocks on the door. She is 16-year-old Lily, the daughter Will never knew he had, the result of a brief fling during his university days. Lily has only recently learned her birth father's identity and Louisa's name came up in Internet searches. On the outs with her materialistic mother, Lily moves in with Louisa "just for a couple of days" and proceeds to offer unsolicited advice about Louisa's wardrobe, cooking, and social life. Lily is at once annoying, needy, and endearing. Meanwhile, Louisa meets Sam, a paramedic whose nephew is in the grief group. Managing relationships with Lily, Sam, and her family requires Louisa to take big risks on her journey to redemption. In this charming, hopeful novel, she finds they are all worth it. Verdict A good choice for popular collections.
