Everyone wants to know what happened next and this is going to be great for all the Jojo Moyes fans ( me included) who loved Me before you. Jojo Moyes has such a talent for drawing you into the book and making you forget reality while you are reading

I was delighted to receive a sampler chapter of Still Me by Jojo Moyes. I loved this chapter and looked forward to reading the rest of Louisa’s story.

I REALLY wanted to enjoy this book, after all I LOVED the first one and LIKED the second one, but I LOATHED this one, and after reading a quarter of the story I had to stop and abandon the book.

It felt like it was a rehash of the previous two books, with a pity party going on for Louisa, who had moved to New York for a year and now was not sure she liked it, but didn't want to go home. She annoyed me in so many ways, as did her new family she supported, and I lost interest in her.

What an absolute treat to spend more time with the inimitable Louisa Clark.
The third in the Lou clark series, and a very welcome addition.

Lou's family provide brilliant comic relief in this book, whilst Dean Martin provides the adorableness!
Beautiful wiring as always from Joji Moyes, with great characterisation and real emotion.

Still Me shows off the very best of Lou, in a charming story with plenty of laughs and teary eyes.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The perfect ending to the perfect series. Each book got stronger and stronger and I loved following the characters round New York.

Always nervous when I adore a book and then you find out the sequel comes out and then the trilogy! There's always the worry that the story is going to be overdone and just taken too far. But Jojo Moyes knows what she is doing and DOES NOT disappoint.

Another beautiful story in its own right. There are a number of relatable and lovable characters and it encompasses the great humour that I love from Me Before You.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Jojo Moyes has done it again.

Sometimes when an author publishes a successful book and decides to add sequels and prequels, they feel forced. You wish they had just stuck with the original and left it at that.

But it turns out we did need to hear what Louisa Clark has done next. When she arrives in New York, Lou is still in a relationship with Sam, although she struggles to maintain this relationship across the miles as their schedules don't coincide. Then she meets Josh.

What I love about Jojo Moyes is how she avoids cliches and trite happy endings. Instead, she gives us real life and real feelings; no sugar coating here.

You can feel Lou's pain at meeting someone who reminds her of... well you know who. It's honest and it's real and I can almost guarantee you're going to cry.

A perfect follow up. It's not always easy to write a sequel, especially to such a well loved book but Jojo Moyes does a wonderful job.

JoJo Moyes has brought the delightful Lou back for another heart -breaking and emotional story that will bring you to tears. Lou is one of my favourite fictional characters, the reader feels like they've been on an emotional rollercoaster with her as she's dealt with the unexpected events in her life. This is one of those stories that I will return to time after time.

It's always hard to do a follow-up, but I loved this book. It was great to see how she coped after he had gone. Will definitely read more by this author, but I do wonder how she is going to top this!

Love love LOVE. I absolutely adore this series and this was no exception. Brilliant writing, didn't want to put it down. Feels like the characters are friends and I can't wait to hear what's going on next in their life!

@jojomoyes #StillMe is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be. An absolute triumph. I love the friendship with Margot. The kindness of strangers. The power of needing to be wanted. And wanting to be needed. And the PERFECT ending! Thank you

I'm not going to lie, I loved Me before You, but now, in all honesty I'm kind of over it. Sure, I'd love to know what happened next...and next....and next but I'm just not as invested as I was before, although I love Jojo Moyes writing and I am always keen to know more, I don't get excited knowing there's a release of a new book. Despite that, here I am leaving a review on my free copy given by NetGalley knowing that I've also purchased my own copy because I keep reading and even though I don't WANT more, I'm here reading more.
As always, Jojo Moyes has the most lovely writing style, it sinks in easy, it doesn't ever feel like a drag and it never feels to heavy, once again it's a lovely story, heart-warming but emotional when needed. I would definitely recommend to a friend to just keep reading even if it might seem like this is going on forever!

These character feel like coming home to old friends and takes the form of the most comforting of homecomings.
Moyes has a latent for characterisation that rings true and the familiar relations have the believability of siblings in our family.
Bittersweet and entertaining, I never wanted it o end .

I absolutely adored this book - the perfect end to Louisa's story. I loved the setting, the quirky characters and the vintage fashion element. I finished it and gave a long sigh of contentment!

I've enjoyed all three books from the series and must say they are definite must read! The first book was my favourite, however I still thoroughly enjoyed Still Me. I love the main character Lou, very quirky and entertaining character and gives you many laughs throughout the book. If you haven't read the series I highly recommend them!

Tough to begin with (but this may be me not wanting to move on after the first book) will give the whole book a good go.

A lovely return to the story of Lou and how her life continues after Will. It's amazing how many situations she seems to find herself in. This book is funny and touching!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Jojo Moyes, a new book featuring her iconic heroine of Me Before You and After You, Louisa Clark

Louisa Clarke now feels like an old friend. It’s so lovely to visit her again, this time in New York. Everything you’d expect from another installment in her colourful life, plus extra cute Big Apple stuff. Loved it.
