Kit Tyler has arrived in colonial Connecticut to live with a family she doesn't know. Her only friend in the village seems to be the local outcast, accused of being a witch. Will Kit ever adjust to her new life?

This is an engrossing novel that pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages. Even after multiple rereads, I still can never put it down. The characters are great, too.

This is the sequel to Me Before You. It picks up roughly 6 months after the book ends. Louisa had been traveling and returned to London. She is working in an airport bar pretty much hating the job. She meets Sam, an ambulance worker at the same time that someone from Will's past comes into her life. The book goes through Lou and the tentative beginnings of a relationship with Sam, dealing with some unexpected family issues in addition to this person from Will's past and all the feelings that dredges up. Very well written.
