Still Me by Jojo Moyes

Synopsis:

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 has been hired by the super rich Gopniks—Leonard and his unhappy, much younger second wife, Agnes—and finds herself amid a never-ending array of household staff and hangers-on. But Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her job and this very privileged New York life. 

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?

Review:

Bravo Jojo Moyes - you have done it again. You made me laugh, you brought tears to my eyes and you made me completely immerse myself in Lou's life again.

Please can we have more? Although this book finished just as it should have, I don't feel like I am ready to say goodbye to Lou yet. She is probably one of my favourite book characters ever.

Lou's word is turned on its head again when she takes a personal assistant job in New York for a very highly established family living in Central Park - to call this all a culture shock would be an understatement. But in her own style, Lou gets on with it and become the best she could be even through her own personal and professional turmoil. She makes friends in the most unexpected places and makes herself at home just when she is least expecting it.

She makes New York her own and deals with everything one day at a time, just like Will would have wanted her to.

Yes ‘After You’ was a little slower, but it has set the scene up beautifully for this third book and without it, her story would flow as well as it does.

Jojo Moyes is in my top five writers, there is not one book of hers that I haven't enjoyed. Just keep on writing please.
