This was a fine addition to the series that didn't really need to be a series, if you know what I mean. The first book was incredibly powerful. The second book had some interesting insights into the grieving process. This one was more in the vein of your standard chick lit where a woman crosses the ocean to find herself. Of course, finding herself means becoming less Lou-like and more of a Will-acolyte, but it still works out that she is true to herself while being a little less timid and retiring. There are quite a few dramatic plot points, some really good but some that just don't fit well. Lou makes good choices and bad, finds some friends, has a lot of new experiences, and lives happily ever after... at least for now. Despite the negativity (it is me, after all), this was a nice, enjoyable book -- but I do think that as much as I love Lou, it's (past) time for Moyes to let her live the rest of her life off the page and in our imaginations.

Moyes has managed to offer a completely new adventure for Louisa Clark as she discovers the Big Apple while testing out her solo wings. What is so satisfying is that Moyes holds true to Louisa's UK story while creating an entirely new landscape for her to make sense of her recent experiences and explore the woman that she is growing into. Along the way, we are treated with exquisitely rendered characters who reflect the American social and corporate world in perfect contrast to Louisa's world across the pond. Don't expect the expected here, as Moyes adds a few surprises without creating too tidy an ending. A thoroughly satisfying read.

I enjoyed revisiting Louis Clark and seeing where her life goes. However, I found myself far more interested in Mrs. DeWitt and her life. The love story aspect was a bit irritating, but I did like that Lou seems to have a better idea of who she is on her own.

Another fantastic novel by Jojo Moyes that is both reminiscent of "Me Before You" and also capable of shining on its own. Lou Clark finds herself in a new job in an entire new country that is both foreign and inviting at the same time. While Moyes second book "After You" seemed to deviate away from Louisa's story to explore the consequences of Will Traynor's past, "Still Me" is all about Louisa. The characters old and new aren't just caricatures, they're real, they're vibrant, and they're likely to pull the reader completely into the story. Lou wouldn't be Lou without a few mishaps and misguided attempts at being helpful along the way, but this Louisa is a little smarter and a little wiser than the Louisa Clark's we encountered in "Me Before You" and "After You".

A complete step back to the quality of Me Before You. I loved it,.

Oh, Jo...how I missed you! It was so wonderful to stretch out and soak up some more of Jo and her world. I love the way it moved to New York and the people she met along the way and the surprises that popped up in her world. I love the way she lives so fully and her quirkiness and I missed her funkiness especially.

I wouldn't say "no" to another installment in the Saga of Jo. Just sayin...........♥

Another delightful and wonderful read from Moyes! The main character, Louisa, is highly relatable; so much so that you will be encouraging her to overcome the obstacles to figure out what she should do with her life. There is a somewhat predicable ending but it doesn't matter because you are so happy for Louisa.

This was more of the book that After You should've been. It showed much more how Will impacted Louisa's life.

Louisa Clark is back and just as quirky, thoughtful, insecure and hopeful as ever. She learns a few more life lessons in this book, reflects back on things that happened with Will and Sam in the previous books, and ultimately discovers that reinventing yourself again and again isn't necessarily a bad thing. Recommended for fans of the series and for those who enjoy the genre. I was given a copy of this book by Net Galley for review.

When I went to a book signing for After You, Jojo Moyes said that she didn't believe in sequels because, although characters are perceived to receive a happy ending, they always seem to “muck it” in the end. Although I enjoyed After You and believed it portrayed grief and mental health very well, it wasn't as impactful, compared to Me Before You. So,it came as a surprise when Moyes announced another installment to the Louisa Clark story. It was not because I was hesitant, but I didn’t think there was more to tell of Lou’s story.

I am glad to find that I was proven wrong.

I absolutely adored this book. Now it may not be as emotional and witty as Me Before You, but I feel that is a great thing. Me Before You was a novel that stood on its own merit and Still Me is the same way. Still Me shows the progression of moving forward and taking risks and that is what all Moyes fans need to do with this latest novel: move forward but look back with fondest memories.

We find Louisa, our lovable, quirky heroine, embarking on a new journey to NYC, working as an assistant to a rich and influential family. We watch her as she continuously tries to balance her work and personal life, at the same time struggling to find her place in this new environment. What I love about Moyes’s writing style is that she doesn’t make it easy for her characters. She gives the hard and gritty truth, a realistic portrayal that just jumps off the page. There are times you are going to question Louisa’s choices but that is the entire point. She is not perfect and just like the rest of us, she is struggling to find a place in the world, without losing an ounce of herself.

This is way more than a romantic novel. Yes, romance is in it but unlike other women’s fiction, it is never the central point. And that is why I love Moyes’s books. The women are more about overcoming the obstacles than finding love. It is more an afterthought. However, I do like the progressing relationship between Louisa and Sam. It felt more modern than this unattainable relationship put on a pedestal.

I felt emotionally touched by this book. For someone who is still trying to figure everything out in her life, I felt more connected with Louisa than in the previous books. I laughed, I got angry, I nodded along, and I cried. This book had everything. You could really feel the turmoil and the heartache that Louisa was going through. In this last installment, it was Moyes returning to her true form.

So make sure to pick up a copy of Still Me when it is released next year, January 23, 2018. It is safe to say that this will be the most talked about book of 2018. If you are a fan of both Jojo Moyes and Me Before You, you will definitely not be disappointed. You may not like sequels but this one is the exception. Take a chance.

Live Boldly.

Louise is such a wonderful, relatable character! It is a pleasure to be able to spend time with her again.

The characters seemed to fall flat. Characters were under developed giving me reason to connect with them or care for them. Characters were not given purpose or personality. Plot progression was too slow for most of the book and rushed at other parts. I had to get halfway through the story before I began to enjoy it. Ending was rushed. The story ended on a note that could satisfy the readers or for some reason lead to more books.

*4.5 stars

Simply wonderful. It's taken me nearly a week to write this review, in part because I really didn't want to let the story go. I flew through it in maybe two days, and that was only because I had work and other real life obligations. Otherwise, I would have read it in one sitting. It grabbed me from the very first sentence and just did not let me go! Louisa Clark is such a delightful protagonist-- funny, quirky, and so very kind. I would read anything that featured her in it. Another thing that I loved about this book was the way in which it had me constantly teetering between laughing and crying. There are some truly heartbreaking moments in this book, but it never becomes too dark thanks to Louisa's trademark wit and sunny disposition. I cannot think of a better continuation of Louisa's story than this. I know this is the last one in the trilogy but I can't help but want more!

Thank you to Netgalley and Jen Childs at Penguin Group Viking for providing me with an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Love this Book! Jojo Moyes is one of my favorite authors. I could not put down this book. From the description of characters to the bustle of New York, this book keeps readers enthralled.

Love this book!. A perfect end to the story of Louisa Clark

After reading the previous two books, I was afraid I would be let down by this one. So often, the third book in a series is a disappointment. This one was not! It was absolutely amazing and even better than the first two. I fell in love with Louisa even more and cherished every moment spent with her while reading this book. I pray there is another one in the works!

Louisa Clark is back. She has survived the death of Will Traynor, who she cared for and with whom she fell in love. She found a new boyfriend, Sam, a paramedic who helped her when she made a drunken fall off a roof and broke a hip.

Now she has decided to move to NYC and take a job as a personal assistant to Agnes, the second wife of a wealthy business man. She moved into the family apartment on 5th Avenue and was given a small room and an ugly uniform. Her main job is to accompany Agnes everywhere (morning jogs, hair salon appointments, luncheons, fancy balls, etc.). Agnes, a much younger woman than her husband, had no friends, many insecurities and a deep secret.

Louisa had left Sam in London and intended to return within a year. However she soon discovered that a long distance relationship was difficult to maintain. She also met Josh, a young executive who looks remarkably like Will Traynor. She and Josh begin a friendly relationship that eventually may change to something more serious.

This is a classic chic lit novel. Louisa’s story begins as that of someone who does what is expected of her. By the end of the story she is on the road to taking control of life on her terms.

One objection is the manner in which the author, a Brit, deals with immigration issues. In the post 9/11 world, it is almost impossible to get on a plane abroad and start a new life in the US without extensive paperwork as one character does. Then there is the matter of someone with a one year work visa as a personal assistant starting a new retail business in NYC.

Very few books or movies get it right. Descriptions of present day New York City are so often done wrong, glazing over the ugly ride in from the outer boroughs, but this book gets New York right from landing at JFK to walking down 5th Avenue, there is a lot of authentic NYC to be experienced in this novel. The other aspect that's appreciated is the focus on life balance for women. It is hard to have it all, and this book doesn't shy away from the dilemma of having a career, romance, family; the struggle is real. Although the story is predicable and can get long winded at times with the internal monologue of the protagonist, it is a good story that reinforces the timeless theme that we should all be appreciated for who we are and that no one need compromise who they are to fit into another person's expectations.

Oh, how can you resist Louisa Clark, the delightful, sensitive young woman we met in ME BEFORE YOU. Just following her goodness and spirit is a pleasure for the reader.

Despite her serious injuries (physical and mental) Louisa has recovered and accepts a job in NYC, a dream for her. She is to become an assistant to the deeply troubled Agnes Gopnik. Her dream becomes a nightmare when the family intrigues and lies bring her into a situation where she is used by her employer, Agnes, and fired for theft. She learns the reality of being treated as a disposable accessory by the wealthy Gopniks.

Despite the loss of her job and the man she loves, Sam, her sheer goodness triumphs when an elderly neighbor needs her help. Louisa finds herself involved with the redoubtable, grouchy Margo DeWitt and her incredible collection of clothes. It is here that she finds a true passion in the fashion world. Always seeking happiness for those around her, Louisa manages to bring the DeWitt family together despite years of estrangement.

Of course this feel good book has a lovely ending. Consider this book a gift from the author, read it and smile!

I received an ARC of Still Me via Netgalley.

If you're willing to do anything for one more go around with Louisa Clark, read it. If After You just about killed your love for Louisa, skip Still Me.

It was good to see Louisa again, but it takes a while for her to feel familiar. The first 1/3 of the book was very slow, unfamiliar and hard to get into. I almost gave up- the new characters are awful, but then...

Then Mrs. De Witt saved the day! I was sucked back into the story-- and reading it when I shouldn't be!
