I absolutely loved Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. It is one of the very, very few books that made me cry and not just a few years but proper ugly cry. That might not sound very good but the story was just so very beautiful and, well, let’s just say that I loved it. So when I heard that a sequel was coming out I was incredibly excited and keen to read After You.

I actually read and reviewed After You by Jojo Moyes for a magazine, which was very exciting in itself but if I am honest the book did not live up to Me Before You. So, when I then heard that there was another book coming out in the series called Still Me I had a moment of worry that it also wouldn’t quite live up to the first book, but I still felt very excited about it and again desperate to read it.

So when I had the opportunity to read the first chapter of Still Me by Jojo Moyes I jumped at the chance. It isn’t a very long chapter but it was enough to tell me that I have to read this book! The main character Lou is off to New York for a new job caring for a lady having been recommended by Nathan, who was a character that I loved in the first book, so it was great to see him back. We follow Lou as she arrives in New York, finds her new home and goes out for coffee. Quite simple really but Lou is such a great character that she makes it readable and not only that but interesting and something that I wanted to keep reading.

Perhaps reading the first chapter wasn’t the best idea because now I have to wait to read the rest!! If you loved Me Before You by Jojo Moyes then get very, very excited because a treat is coming on 25th January 2018. If you haven’t read Me Before You then go do it, you have time to read that and After You so that you too can look forward to the release of Still Me too.

Oh my word. I usually don't read serialised novels and sampler chapter but I'm so glad to have read this one!
Lou is back, chatty as ever, I adored her conversation at the airport, and I was already hooked in her adventures in New York and there are going to be plenty there, I'm sure! It was a great opening chapter that left me want more and I can't wait to read the whole story. I've already felt like being with an old friend again, and Lou's plan to say "yes" to new things seems like a great one. I also can't wait to get to know Lou's charge, the mysterious Ms Gopnik.
So roll on, publication date! Looking forward to reading the novel.

Louisa Clark is about to embark on a New York adventure. A new job and a new life are waiting and she has promised herself ( and the memory of her old boyfriend, Will ) to dive right in.
Louisa is determined to say "Yes" to new experiences.
We all hope there will be many of these and I, for one, cannot wait to find out more!

I can’t wait to hear more about Louisa’s adventures in New York. I’m already captivated by her story and finding out more about the Gopnik family. I love the description of Manhattan. It totally summed up my feelings when I visited too “a sight that was so familiar from television and films that I couldn’t quite accept I was seeing it for real”

I was engrossed in this book from the start. I finished the first chapter eagerly wanting to read the rest of the story and find out how Louise life turned out, if she found happiness with Sam or if she met the man of her dreams in America

Wow I loved The first Chapter of Still Me, I’m soooo looking forward to the full book being released next year as I was so disappointed to read it quick and then couldn’t carry on reading. It is definitely going to be another great book by Jojo Moyes.

I'm so excited about this book having followed the story from the beginning. In it we find Lou embarking on a new chapter with a job in NYC. Can't wait to read the whole story.

One chapter in and it already feels as though I am back with friends. Lou is still overflowing with emotions but is determined to say yes to something new every week. She is now in New York, after a quirky encounter with immigration, ready to meet her new companion.
Already Jo Jo has made me laugh and brought a lump to my throat and that was from the first chapter - cannot wait to read the rest.

This is a very short taster of the third book in this series about Louisa's life. I find the ditsy character of Louisa annoying and this kind of writing, with quite silly humour underlying serious issues, is not my favourite. However, having read the first two and seen the film, I will definitely read the whole book to find out if she and Sam get together in the end.

GIVE ME MORE! GIVE ME MORE! I NEED MORE! I am even more excited for Still me than before

I absolutely love all of Jojo Moyes books and like many would probably rate Me Before You as one of my all time favourites. When I heard there was going to be a sequel I was initially wary but couldn't resist reading and while After You is a much sadder read I still very much enjoyed it.

I was overjoyed to hear we were getting a third book and from the first chapter sampler I really can't wait to read it. It seems like Louisa has turned a corner and while she's by no means over Will she's more or less back to her old self, positive attitude and fashion sense fully restored. I love how Moyes somehow managed to refresh our memory of everything that has happened so far in such a funny and lighthearted way. I'm sooo excited that she's in New York and that Nathan is back in the story but I'm also really looking forward to the new characters. If Ilaria is anything to go by I think the relationships between them are going to be interesting.

I've never read any Jojo moyes before so I was pleased to try something different. The start of the book was interesting and I look forward to reading what happens to the main character Louisa in New York.
I know this book is a follow-up to others that Jojo has written, but you don't need to have read these to enjoy Still Me.
The book is light hearted and easy, funny and the main character likeable and realistic. I will definitely look out for this one on publication.

Only the first chapter sample so no proper review yet. Already though Lou ‘Lizzy’ Clark is worming her way back into my psyche. I have such a soft spot for Lou et al. and hearing her voice again through the tender and funny writing of Jojo Moyes is just wonderful.

A heartfelt thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House UK for providing this advance chapter in exchange for an honest review, I can’t wait for the whole book.

This is the third Lou Clark novel and it promises to be just as brilliant as the previous books .Louise is now in New York working as a Companion for a Multimillionaires wife .The first chapter sees her settling in to her new home and getting ready to start her new job and trying to keep a long distance relationship with Paramedic Sam .I can't wait to read the rest of this book as it promises to be just brilliant .

Loved, loved, loved it. Instantly I was transported back into Lou’s world. I felt the same sadness she did when she talked about Will. I actually cried. And then I laughed at the things she said, just typical Lou. I can’t wait to read about the rest of her adventures in New York. Five star recommendation.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Jojo Moyes for the opportunity to read a copy of this book. I agreed to give my unbiased opinion voluntarily.

Jojo Moyes you've done it again!

I have only read a sample chapter of this book and I am counting the minutes until it comes out in January. Everything I loved about Me Before You is in this opening chapter - we are reminded of the events of the last two books in a very brief 'catch up' that doesn't feel forced or like we are being reminded. Louise Clark is, quite possibly, one of my favourite fictional characters - her brightness, sparkiness and funniness overflows and we are entertained from the first.

Hurry up January! This book is at the top of my reading list and publication can't come soon enough

First of all I thank Penguin Michael Joseph and Netgalley for the opportunity to read the first chapter of the next installment of Me before you.

The story continues where Louisa Clark has just arrived in immigration office at New York airport, when she realises she is no longer in England she has to explain to immigration office with a cowboy moustache the reason she has come to New york. She says Paid companion. Then a whole life story starts to unfold. She meets Nathan to start a new job, she now has a new boyfriend. Louisa's character is the same, with her wacky humor and dress sense. Life is happy.

After reading this first chapter I can't wait for this book to come out. Written in the same style as the first two books I think this is going to be a big hit.

I've read a lot of JoJo Moyes books and have never been disappointed and with the first chapter of her new book I know this will continue to be the case.
I need to know what is going to happen next as we continue to follow Lou's story where it continues in New York.
The author writes compelling characters and you invest in them and want to know how their life will unfold.
Can't wait to read the rest of the book.

I jumped at the chance to read this when it appeared in my emails. Theres something about Lou's character that makes you feel like you're catching up with an old friend. Within the first chapter we know Lou is moving to America to take on another caring role. She is the same ditsy, oversharing and lovely girl she always was. I cant wait to see where this book will take her. Hopefully she packed her stripey socks. Thanks netgalley for the preview!

Still Louisa

Just one chapter - it's just cruel! For fans, getting a sneak peak of Still Me is just too tempting. Picking up just after the events of After Me, Louise is now landing in New York and ready to start a new chapter as a companion in a very wealthy household.

In just the one chapter, we see Nathan awaiting her, both Will and Sam are mentioned - we know exactly where we are. And Louise manages to breeze in and both charm and flummox the security officer at the airport, and move to her new home - the very classy apartment of the family she is soon to meet and work for...

It's enough to set the tone and expectations of the whole novel, but not enough to satisfy.

The feel of our beloved heroine hasn't changed, and I was ready for another life-affirming, humorous episode of her trials and loves.

I'll definitely be looking for the full-length novel come January. Looks good so far, Ms Moyes!
