A Goodreads user asked Jojo Moyes:

I finished Me Before You yesterday and needless to say , I was a crying blubbering mess by the end of the book. It was an amazing read (I guess you get that all the time). Now my questions are, did you ever consider putting Will's point of view in the book? If so, why didn't you?

Jojo Moyes Hi Book Nerd (nice name!)
I get asked this question a lot, and the answer is yes, but I couldn't, for plot reasons. If the reader understood what Will was planning to do from the start, it would have removed a lot of the central driver from the book, which is us, and Lou, not knowing whether she is going to succeed.

Hi Jojo, do you like to travel? And do you ever got an inspiration to write a book / creating a character from the places you've visited/want to visit?

Diwita Mathivanan asked Jojo Moyes:

I thought the most beautiful and equally heart breaking part of Me before You was how close to reality the story struck. And I needed After You to be reassured that Lou was indeed okay. I just read Still Me and I am still making up my mind. What I would love to know is what was your motivation behind this story? Don't get me wrong, I love me some Lou but what was it that made you tell more of her journey?
