About this audiobook

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

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 superrich 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.

Before she knows what's happening, Lou is mixing in New York high society, where she meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. In Still Me, as Lou tries to keep the two sides of her world together, she finds herself carrying secrets—not all her own—that cause a catastrophic change in her circumstances. And when matters come to a head, she has to ask herself Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart that lives in two places?

Editor's Note

Opening doors…

The last book in Jojo Moyes’ popular “Me Before You” series, which follows protagonist Louisa Clark as she moves from the U.K. to NYC. Though it has the expected ups-and-downs, Louisa’s journey comes to a satisfying end. A reminder that when one door closes, another opens.

    it was a marvelous way to draw everything to an end...and what's more in many ways it's really a beginning! I so enjoyed catching up with Louisa once again, and commend her emphatically for her courage, drive, and HUGE HEART! I adore her from her innocent please others first ways to her gorgeous stripey tights. The lives she touches along the way are made the better for knowing her, just as she is them. ♡ I was really teetering on the edge of hope with the ending because I wanted her happy, but I wanted her loved, and I wasn't so sure that the one was for her, but the other had done some stomping of their own, and well, really...the final scenes were PERFECT.

    I loved this!Louisa Clark has left England and left behind her family and new love, Sam, to embrace a new experience in New York City. All doesn't go as planned but Louisa has some life changing experiences and befriends a wide range of people.There's joy, sadness, humor, loss, and recovery. I was completely absorbed in Lou's life and world. I was reading this as huge winds, rain and possible downed power lines were threatening. As the lights flickered I wondered where my torch was. Not a usual thought since I'm American and have NEVER called a flashlight a torch!

    “I had started to understand New York a little bit more and, in return, it had started to accommodate me.” (Quotation page 88)ContentLouisa Clark has arrived in New York and is now working as personal assistant to Mrs Gopnik, wife of multimillionaire Mr Leonard Gopnik. The new employment includes a small staff room in the famous building “The Lavery”, address Fifth Avenue. She is missing her family and boyfriend Sam back in the UK, but buzzling New York is waiting for her, with daily new experiences. Then she meets Josh and long-distance relationships are sometimes tough.Theme and GenreThis third novel of the series about Lou Clark is settled in New York. Important topics are family, friendship, love, changes, new opportunities and choices to be made during lifetime. It is also about feeling at home in different countries.CharactersLou Clark, although almost thirty, still has not found out, who she really wants to be, and what she wants to do with her life. She tries to adjust herself to the needs of others, until unforeseen events completely confuse her life and raise her self-esteem, forcing her to think about her own hopes and wishes for the future. Plot and writingThe story is entertaining and includes exciting moments, especially when Lou begins to behave and act like an adult. There are also funny scenes, sad ones, interesting descriptions of New York and its very different lifestyles. The book is well written and enjoyable to read. ConclusionAn entertaining, loveable story, especially for readers who have read the first two novels, Me Before You and After You. Personally, I really liked Me Before You, was quite disappointed about After You, but I like this third book of the series.

    This book chronicles the further adventures of Louisa Clark who has left England and is now living in New York City. The best word I can come up with to describe it is "authentic" - with respect to the emotions, experience, and people involved in the story. I loved it! Highly recommended, but you definitely need to read the first two novels in the series.

    I'm not certain if this is the end of Louisa Clark's story, but it was nice to spend a little more time with her. With the last book leaving off with Lou headed to New York City, this book chronicles her American adventures and the toll it takes on her budding relationship with Sam. With her characteristic humor and awkwardness, Lou finds herself navigating the outlines of New York City high society, which includes quirky family dynamics, grumpy servants, and a temperamental old lady with a dog. Lou has her up and downs throughout this book and manages to slowly build the kind of future she wants. A good read and something those who've read the previous books in Lou's story will want to pick up.

    Trilogies are tricky and I've read few that are good right up until the end. Sorry to say that this was the case with "Still Me".

    For one thing, I am very disinterested in the rich and famous in New York. Yes, I am American but I could care less about spoiled, overindulged wealthy people and I think that I was supposed to be more interested in Louisa's New York employers than I was. Sorry Jojo - I would have been more entertained by the intrigue of London. For another, Louisa was still her zany, spunky self, but I knew that already and I didn't really need to know that she was still herself by reading another book. I got it.

    So, please let this be the end to a very sweet series. Three might be a charm but four is, well, just one too many.

    This was a light read that I enjoyed just for that. Louisa is such a likable character and she is fun to follow around. Eventhough the end was a bit predictable, I enjoyed her New York journey none the less.

    I received the First Chapter of Still me by Penguin for an honest review, thanks a million!This is a continuing contemporary series book that tells us about Lou Clark and her new adventure crossing the ocean for New York. It gives the reader a glimpse of her character facing the jet-lag and immigration ques at the airport and her story’s nature to blab suddenly everything to a complete stranger – immigration officer.Then the story takes me to meet her acquaintance/ friend who takes her to the new family’s house she has agreed to work with, an ultra rich family…she has agreed to do it again, take care and be a companion to someone, woman this time…The start is intriguing and synopsis tells ahead, this is going to be a romance, contemporary fiction, bit of heartbreak and a good lough.I am rating as 2 ** because, this is only first chapter and so far it was promising, and without having read the whole book – it’s too far to say what my review will be. I have not read the previous two books, but I think it does not really matter, and anyone could read just this one, as I have seen the movie of the Me Before You.

    This third book in the trilogy of Louisa Clark struggling to live without the constant pain of loss. While some of the portions seemed contrived and sappy, I still read this book. Mainly, I stuck with it because this is an author who is a very good writer. No, she isn't Hemingway, but she writes a good story about a very likeable woman who is learning to stand on her feet and open her heart again. This book finds Louisa accepting a position as a social secretary to a very rich and very dramatic New York City upper Echelon. Louisa has little time to enjoy the city as the spoiled woman soaks up every minute of her time.This was worth reading, but it wasn't as strong as the other two that came before. Some of the plot is predictable. Three Stars

    I do love Louisa Clark. This book is not going to save the world, it won't change the way I view anything, but it brought me a great deal of happiness and the moral of the story is straight up empowering. As an added bonus, 25 years since I have lived in New York I fell in love with it all over again. (I was never out of love with it, every visit is like going home, but this reminded me of things I haven't thought about in a long while -- wonderful things.) I loved the first book in the series absolutely, and was disappointed in the second which was fine, but no more. I thought about not reading this one, and I am so glad I changed my mind! Lovely.

    Still Me is the third (and last, I presume?) in the Me Before You series. This one picks up where the last one left off, with Louisa traveling to New York City to take a job as a personal assistant to the wife of a wealthy businessman. Encouraged by Will's legacy to stay true to herself, she begins a new life in New York while trying to keep her long-distance relationship with Ambulance Sam going.Like many, I was somewhat disappointed in the second installment of this series. While it was okay, I thought it had a dark undertone and was somewhat depressing. In Still Me, the New York setting seems to breathe new life into the series, and Louisa is back to being her more quirky, funny, lovable self. While this wasn't as heart-wrenching as the original Me Before You, it was an easy read, fun and enjoyable. The plot wasn't necessarily anything that hasn't been done before, but it was seen through Louisa's eyes, and that was refreshing. This has Nora Ephron movie-adaptation written all over it. And since I'm a fan of Ephron, I couldn't help but enjoy this book.

    This was my first book by Jojo Moyes, not without trying though. I tried hard to get the other two in this series, but, alas, it didn't happen. I did see the movie (I know, not really the full story). This book continues the story of Louisa and now she is taking on New York. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. I loved Margot, Agnes can crawl in a hole somewhere. And Sam? I'm not sure about him. Looks like we will see him in the next book. Fingers crossed!A great read that I thoroughly enjoyed.Thanks to Pamela Dorman Books and Net Galley for providing me with a free e-galley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

    JoJo Moyes is a wonderful storyteller. This novel featuring Louisa Clark in New York will be more appreciated if you have read the previous two in the series. An entertaining read although I found it somewhat predictable with unnecessary subplots. If you haven't read her earlier books, several are quite worth the time.

    Louisa Clark is now living in New York and starting a new life but still wants to keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam at home in the UK. She meets Joshua Ryan and realizes that her heart now lives in two places.I love JoJo Moyes' writing. I liked this one as much as book 1. Book 2 did not measure up to book 1 and 3 but these books are still a fun read. This book had unexpected twists that I did not see coming. I found the new friends of Louisa in New York very interesting. I would definitely read more from JoJo Moyes and I would highly recommend her books to those who like to read fiction with strong emotional feelings.

    I loved this book so much. Louisa Clark is such a breath of fresh air. In this novel she has decided to take Will's advice and live life to the fullest and say yes to new things by moving to NY and accepting a job as the caretaker for a wife who is one half of a very screwed up couple. Unpleasant things happen but Louisa always meets the challenge with compassion and kindness. Meanwhile back across the pond ambulance Sam isn't coping all that well with Louisa's absence. To complicate matters further Louisa keeps bumping into a rich and handsome American who is a dead ringer for Will. Louisa has to find out who she is before she can decide who is the right man for her.This book was a great continuation of the series. We even get to hear the voice of Will through letters he wrote about his time in NY. I loved getting to catch up with all of the characters from the past book and meeting the new residents of NY. It has been great fun seeing how Lou has grown and changed through the three books. We would all be better off with a Louisa Clark in our lives. Don't even get me started on Dean Martin. I don't know if I will even get over that. This book gave me all the feels. I love JoJo and Lou!

    I LOVED this final book about....the wonderful Louisa Clark!!! JoJo Moyes writes in a most the most appealing and I can picture her characters as she develops them. I just hated to have book end because in an interview Moyes said this was the last we would have of Louisa but what a wonderful three book series!!!

    This is a sequel to Moyes's Me Before You, but the author incorporates enough of the background into this narrative that I didn't mind not having read the earlier book. Louisa has left her family and boyfriend behind in England to move to New York for a new adventure. As an assistant to the new wife of a very wealthy man, Louisa is expected to turn over her life to the woman's wellbeing, which becomes a most complex balancing act. In the meantime she and her boyfriend are figuring out their long distance relationship, Louisa meets a charming man with an uncanny resemblance to a man she still grieves for, and she finds friendship in unexpected places. When two betrayals turn her life upsidedown, Louisa must find inner strength that she didn't know she possessed and support from unexpected sources. Her wit and sometimes madcap situations make this a fun read, even when her despair can seem overwhelming.

    We pick up shortly after the end of After Me with Louisa coming to New York City to work as a personal assistant to the wife of a very rich businessman. It is quite a change from taking care of Will. Things don't go quite how she hoped and Louisa is forced to reinvent herself once again in her own unique way. Her journey made me laugh and even shed a tear or two as she finds her place in the world in a very satisfying ending. I don't think I will ever get tired of Louisa and will hold out hope that this will not be the last we will see of her.
