Review: Still Me (Me Before You #3) by Jojo Moyes

3 stars for Still Me (Me Before You book 3) by Jojo Moyes.

From a standalone (Me Before You) to a sequel (After You) to a series (Still Me), Lou's story has indeed come a long way from the time she is hired to work for the Traynor family in England to the Gopnik family in New York now. Since then, Lou has moved on. Time and tide wait for no man. She needs to move on. Yet somehow, it still feels somewhat wrong to have Lou's story continuing in a world without Will.

Following the advice of the late Will Traynor, Lou is now in New York city to start a new life, take up new challenges and go on exciting adventures. The story flows and is easy to read but other than that, there is nothing much compelling about it. Lou is still Lou. But Lou without Will is just not the same. Ever.

Time does not heal all wounds. It is what we do with time that heals. Perhaps that is what author Moyes is trying to put across in Lou's story - another story without Will - to us. Perhaps Still Me is the last in the series. Or perhaps there will be more to come. But no matter how, I stick to my guns that it will have been for the better if Me Before You remains as it has originally been intended to be, that is, a standalone novel.

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 steps into the world of the superrich, working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger second wife, Agnes. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job and New York life.

As she begins to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. 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. 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?

Funny, romantic, and poignant, Still Me follows Lou as she navigates how to stay true to herself, while pushing to live boldly in her brave new world.
