I would like to thank NetGalley for the ARC of this book. It came at just the right time, after I had read several thrillers that involved the kidnapping/killing of young girls. Still Me is the perfect book to read if you need a fast, fun, uplifting read. Once again you can't help but cheer for Louisa Clark as she muddles her way through life, this time in NYC. This young heroine keeps getting knocked down and always manages to pull herself back up, this time realizing that the only way to be happy is to stay true to yourself. I thought this was so much better than After You, and look forward to being able to recommend it wholeheartedly to our patrons.

I started this book with trepidation. Do we really need a third one in this series? While the book held me throughout, I reluctantly have to answer, no. Devoted fans of Moyes’ will love it as might someone new to the series. But, for me, I think I’ve had enough. Lou is just too good, too righteous, and too fortunate, despite the many bad situations she finds herself in. The writing is good, the story is okay, and the setting reads as if written by someone who hasn’t lived in New York for very long. I”be given this 4 stars because ai know that readers will demand it, but my rating really is much closer to 3 than to 4. This is a book for fans of superficial relationships and situations and for those who are invested in the series.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, as the main character arrived in America to work in New York for an obscenely wealthy family. However, somehow the author found a way to make the story interesting, with characters of depth and complexity and a variety of twists and turns that wound up taking the story in a different direction than I might've anticipated from the way it began. The author has quite a lovely way with words, and I enjoyed reading this book very much . I'm sure our customers will be putting this book on reserve when our copies arrive at the library. I'll be sure to recommend it!

So. Good. "Lou" is taking NYC by storm and making new friends daily with a new batch of appealing (and not so appealing) characters, and taking Will's lessons to heart. Plus the setting of New York City through fresh, unjaded eyes is fabulous. AND librarians will love that Lou is helping to save a neighborhood library in danger of being unfunded. How can we not love her more?

Those of you who were a wee bit disappointed in AFTER YOU are going to love this sequel. Those of you who loved AFTER YOU are going to love this sequel. Sure, they were parts that were predictable, but really, who cares. I didn't.

Louisa Clark is back and its like catching up with an old friend. This time she sets off to New York City to have an adventure of her own as she tries to make a life for herself. Thanks to her friend Nathan she finds a job as an assistant to a rich second wife. Her job is to be there and anticipate her needs and to be discreet and loyal. There is also a man, well actually 2 men in her life. When things go awry Louisa has to be true to herself to have the life that makes her happy. This is my favorite book in this series! It was a pleasure to visit with Louisa again and laugh with her (no tears this time) and I made myself slow down reading so the book lasted longer.

To all of us that are fan of Jojo Moyes “Me before you”: do we needed another follow up? I didn’t, but I was curious about it. So I received the ARC from the publisher and I thought about how I love Jojo Moyes books etc, etc…. So my honest thoughts are: why? I am not very fan of sequels, I like to read a different book each time I found one that interests me. I think this story already had an end, I was heartbroken but, its fiction I know… but again, why? I think Louisa already had her “aha” moment after Wil’s death, she should be put inside a box and kept there so I could always think about: What Louisa would do with her life? I like to dream of all the possibilities when I finish a book. I don’t want all the answers, is to boring. So my opinion is: I didn’t liked, the author probably didn’t want to keep writing about Louisa Clark, but the people involved and her publishers probably wanted more so you could make millions. I always thought that the beauty of Reading is” to leave something for the reader to think about it, I want to be awed by a book, I want to be surprised at THE END”... Most of us do not want everything in a gold plate with all the answers. I don’t.

Moyes continues with the saga of Louisa Clark, the heroine of her wildly popular, Me, Before You and After You. In this installment, Lou is starting over in New York where she rubs elbows with the elite and exclusive members of New York’s über rich, all the while trying to keep her long distance courtship with Ambulance Sam alive. It’s not until she meets Joshua Ryan that she realizes she still needs to confront and deal with her past. Trying to keep her past and present separate will only cause more grief and pain. This isn’t may favorite entry in the series, that honor goes to the first book, but it’s much better than the second. It finally feels as if Lou is dealing with her loss in this story and fans of that first bittersweet novel will find themselves in tears as she moves on. Moyes is a master at tugging at her readers heartstrings and this novel is pure proof of that
