Still Me by Jojo Moyes
Three years later (almost to the day), I am reviewing the final installment of Louisa Clark’s story! I read “Me Before You” and “After You” three years ago and fell completely in love with Louisa. You can read my view of the first two books here. I met a lovely friend on Instagram who was reading all three books and it was just the kick I needed to pull out my copy of “Still Me” and read along with her. I’m so happy I did. I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while, but I was hesitant because the second book was so hard for me to get into. Well, “Still Me” was incredible. I absolutely loved it and was so satisfied with how Louisa’s story continued after the second book.
If you haven’t read the first two, my summary will contain spoilers! We left Louisa agreeing to move to New York and that is just where we pick up in “Still Me.” Louisa is moving in with a wealthy New York family to be the companion/assistant to the wife, Agnes. Louisa must navigate Agnes’ moods, whims, and needs while she adjusts to being in a new city. The former is challenging; the later is exhilarating! Louisa falls in love with New York, which is good because her love life with Sam proves difficult. He isn’t patient or understanding with Louisa and he becomes very jealous. It was incredibly frustrating. His storyline does redeem itself in certain way (not gonna spoil it), so that helped, but . . . still! Louisa strikes up some wonderful friendships, which I absolutely loved – especially with Margot. That was one of my favorite parts of the book. My other favorite was how much Louisa grows. She truly finds her voice. I loved reading all the ins and outs of how she does this, and I hope you do too!
Summing it up: I was so pleased with this finale. I’d been worried if I would like it or not and kinda putting off reading it. So, I was just thrilled to love this book as much as I did! I honestly recommend the whole series and I’d love to know if you’ve read (any or all) of them!
Best, Abbey
