Welcome to the challenge, Katie!

Diana, what did you think of After You in comparison with Me Before You?

I am asking because I loved Me Before You and am slightly scared to read the sequel, being afraid that it might be less good or would ruin the first book.

I'm afraid too, Ilona! I've been hearing good things about it from people in the group, but I'm still not sold.

I read it and liked it, thought it is completely different from the first book.
