Still Me
by Jojo Moyes
I received a free copy of this book from Penguin Ireland in exchange for an honest review.
In Me Before You, Louisa Clark became a companion and carer for Will who was paraplegic and he ended up changing her world. In After You, Lou recovers from the most passionate and intense love of her life and learning to live without him by her side, and finding ways to love again. Now in Still Me, Louisa is on a new adventure to New York but has to learn how to handle a long-distance relationship, and discover what she really wants to do with her life.
I adored Me Before You and I really enjoyed After You. But I feel we get the proper old Louisa we all fell in love with in Still Me. In After You, we grieved with her and had to learn what life was like after Will. It was a learning process, and we like Louisa had to learn how to handle her in a new relationship with Sam (who I am a big fan of).
Louisa really comes into her own in Still Me. I feel like she grew so much. She’s alone but content in her own company, she’s going out exploring and learning what she wants to do in her future and all the things she’s capable of (without Will having to tell her all the time). She’s really taking her lessons she learned from him and applying them to her life everyday.
I thought her relationship with Josh was an interesting turn. While he wasn’t my favourite, because obviously Sam is endgame, I do feel like it was something Louisa needed. It was probably one of the closest things she could have that would be like a relationship with Will - the Will she should have had. I think it was something she needed to experience because the truth is if Will and Louisa hadn’t met the way they had they may not have ever been together or fallen in love. He may have been a lot more like Joshua, who knows.
I loved Louisa’s relationship with Mrs De Witt. It was so heartwarming and I’m glad she ended up getting ownership of Dean Martin in the end.
I laughed so many times during this book at Louisa just being Louisa and was smiling more or less the entire time I was reading it. This book just feels so lovely and comfortable and Louisa is one of those characters that feels like home.
Also, I LOVE that Treena came out, and how the family reacted. It was so lovely and honestly, it felt really right for the character.
This book definitely won’t make anyone thinking of getting into a long-distance relationship hopeful. Louisa and Sam are only apart three months when everything falls apart but a lot of talk that happens at the end, the way they rushed into things and still had a lot to learn about one another made sense. I loved the end, and honestly I still want more from Louisa. I can’t get enough.
