I’m not judging – love is love, but the issue I have with their relationship is that Agnes has built it on secrets and lies. Safe to say he’s old enough to be her father. I mean Agnes is the same age as Lou and Leonard is probably in his sixties. I can’t even really remember much about her other than she was obsessed with Sam. Sam and Lou went through it enough on their own – Katie was an unnecessary, underdeveloped character. It’s just like – why can’t this woman catch a freaking break?! I just didn’t necessarily like all the trouble Lou went through in this one. I understand why Moyes had their relationship struggle to survive the long distance. I feel like when Lou arrived in New York she really limited herself – or held herself back – because of Ambulance Sam. I know they love each other but a lot of the turmoil they faced throughout this novel could have been avoided if they’d just put a stopper on their relationship until she returned to England. I really like him for Louisa, but the problem with their relationship is starts off while she’s still grieving and then they only have like three months together before she leaves for her new job in New York.
Part of the reason this book was so frustrating to me was Ambulance Sam. And when matters come to a head, she has to ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you find the courage to follow your heart–wherever that may lead?įunny, romantic, and poignant, Still Me follows Lou as she discovers who she is and who she was always meant to be–and to live boldly in her brave new world. Before long, Lou finds herself torn between Fifth Avenue where she works and the treasure-filled vintage clothing store where she actually feels at home. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job and New York life.Īs she begins to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. She steps into the world of the superrich, working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger second wife, Agnes. 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. Still Me was the closure to Louisa’s story that I needed. I was shattered after Me Before You and I still kind of can’t let go of my sadness. My rage simmered throughout After You and Still Me because Moyes writes such likeable characters. I’ll say this, Me Before You was probably my favorite book in this trilogy, but that isn’t to say I disliked the other two. By the time I picked up this book, my anger at Me Before You had almost subsided, but then Jojo Moyes decided to continue to stab me in the heart with Louisa’s story.
