Still Me: Discover the love story that captured 21 million hearts

Product Information

Lou’s love life: ”I think I needed a distraction from the loss of my sister. I built a house so I didn’t have to think. I built a house because I needed to believe in the future. But now it’s done and I look around these empty rooms, I feel nothing. Maybe some pride that I actually finished the job but apart from that? Nothing at all.” Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She is thrown into the world of the super-rich Gopniks: Leonard and his much younger second wife, Agnes, and a never-ending array of household staff and hangers-on. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her job and New York life within this privileged world. I can’t believe we didn’t get any closure to this story!!! Yes, Mr. Gopnik found out about Agnes daughter and he spoke with Lou, but damn that’s not enough! For the way they treated her he should have begged on his knees for her forgiveness! And Lou?! Lou must be a saint because if they would have treated me like that I would have given him a piece of my mind!!! It’s good that she managed to make the deal for the library but seriously! How they treated her was horrible and there are so many things that were left open. For instance Agnes’s affair with the artist! What happened with that?! Did Mr. Gopnik ever find out about it?! And why the hell didn’t Agnes try to make amends?! All the while she told Lou that she’s her best friend and then she betrayed her in the worst way possible and didn’t even apologize for it?!! I mean Lou covered for her; she was jobless, disgraced and homeless because of the secret she kept for HER!!! And she didn’t even apologize when it all came out?! WTF?! That’s so not okay! What a spineless and unprincipled person!!! It wouldn’t have killed her to say sorry! If I would have been Lou I would have been so damn angry! GRRRR! Lou is a saint. I have no other explanation... While out and about she meets a man named Josh Ryan who bears a striking resemblance to someone from her past. They form a friendship while Louisa pines for Sam and throws herself into the NYC high society social circle. Louisa continues to be quirky and finds herself in various situations both comedic and sad. There will be misunderstandings, new friends, broken hearts, miscommunication, deceit and mayhem.

I had a choice. I was Louisa Clark from New York, or Stortfold. Or there might be a whole other Louisa I hadn't met yet. The key was making sure that anyone you allowed to walk beside you didn't get to decide which you were, and pin you down like a butterfly in a case. The key was to know that you could always somehow find a way to reinvent yourself again.” So whilst I could comprehend Agnes’s actions I still think that she should have approached her troubles differently. A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENTLY! I mean who cares about what those women thought about her? If she felt inappropriately dressed for the events she had to attend, why the hell didn’t she recruit a stylist?! Money obviously wasn’t a problem and if you have a personal hair dresser, coach and assistant already I’m sure it’s not that hard to get a proper stylist as well. She would have automatically felt more confident and comfortable and that would have had an effect on the people around her as well. Also sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and hold your head high. Well, at least that’s what I would have done, along with giving them my best impression of the finger. ;-P Just saying. I love Lou as a character, she is so ridiculously relatable and I see parts of myself in her. It was wonderful to see her story continue, she deserves happiness and I am glad that Jojo Moyes gave it to her. <3 The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021), film directed by Augustine Frizzell, based on novel The Last Letter from Your Lover, distributed by NetflixLou keeps trying her best to do her tasks in the best possible way, and certainly she will put to test when duty and righteousness, will become one single mess, not making easy to know how to act at certain times. Class divide is a major theme in your books. Lou often finds herself in circles far different from her working-class upbringing, with employment to the Traynors in Me Before You and the Gopniks in Still Me . Why is this dichotomy important to you and in your writing? Following a new series of events Lou finds herself facing other challenges trying to make something out of herself and not just the plain Louisa Clark from Stortfold.

There aren't a lot of surprises in this book—there were many times when something happened and I thought to myself, "Ah, so this will happen at some point," and I wasn't ever wrong. But that didn't bother me as much as it might with other books, because these characters are so engaging, and Moyes' storytelling just draws you in and feels comfortable and familiar. You could read this book without reading the first two, but you have no idea what you're missing, particularly with Me Before You. Louisa is, in fact, Still Her. But she’s growing. When you think about who she was when she first met Will Traynor, working in that cafe, to who she is today, hailing cabs off Park Avenue and going to protests to keep neighborhood libraries open and befriending rich older ladies and wealthy gazillionaires, she is a different person. I enjoyed a lot reading this book, since after three novels (counting this one), Louisa Clark, is already a literary character that it’s always a wonderful experience to read about.From the New YorkTimes bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, discover the love story that captured over 20 million hearts inMe Before You,After You, andStill Me. It is memorable and poignant tale that spans across numerous generations. The characters include Kate, Joy, and Sabine, these are all Irish individual, and the secrets coupled with family dynamics makes life a struggle for all the three women. Why Jojo Moyes felt compelled to take a story as emotionally charged as Me Before You and drag it out to a trilogy, I’ll never understand. Was it a burning desire on her part to continue Louisa’s story that led to After You (book 2) or more of an opportunity to exploit the success of Me Before You? Is it possible Still Me (book 3) was viewed as a chance to right all of the squandered opportunities we suffered through in After You or again, more of a sales play? Either way, I won’t deny, this third installment was a much more enjoyable read than the prior. Although, arguably, unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.
