It's 12:03 a.m. and I've finished Jojo Moye's third "Me Before You" novel. All I think of is how Jojo Moyes has tugged at my heartstrings once again. Her writing makes me feel like I was a part of Louisa's story; experiencing every one of her challenges and heartbreaks alongside her.
Don't read if you don't want to cry. Like the previous two novels, you will have your exciting, sad, and angry moments. Those moments keep you wanting to read more!
*Spoiler Alert!*
Fingers crossed there will be a fourth novel! I am hoping to see the future of Louisa and Sam's relationship. They've been through so much already, you can only hope good things for them right?

Ahh this book was just what I needed!! There were times I was frustrated, furious, and genuinely happy. All the emotions with this one. What a great conclusion to the trilogy with Louisa Clark!

The story continues
I have loved reading Louisa’s story. It’s told in such a way that you can not put the book down.

Imparting several important life lessons, Still Me by Jojo Moyes tells a story about a woman who moves to New York City to start a new life but struggles to maintain a long-distance relationship with her new boyfriend.
Summary: Louisa "Lou" Clark takes up a job as an assistant in New York City under the encouragement of her new boyfriend Sam Fielding. There, she meets a man who strongly resembles Will Traynor, the man she loved and cared for until he passed away.
Tropes/Genres:
• contemporary fiction
• romance
• long-distance relationship
• set in New York City
Review: I like that the author dives into Louisa's arc as a person, showing how she finds herself and does something meaningful in her life the way Will wanted for her. In a way, I still don't see the need for a sequel, but I guess this is more like the sequel to the sequel. It's similar to how I feel about After You, but at least this story is less messy.
Maintaining a long-distance relationship is not easy, and this story talks about that. It takes a lot of effort. It's not easy to be physically apart from someone you love, and it's so easy to get distant or jealous, as portrayed by this book. When you're going through a hard time and your partner isn't physically able to support you and give you a comforting hug, that's how long-distance relationships get hurt. I think that this book portrayed it well. I don't blame Lou and Sam for whatever happened in this book regarding the LDR. That's just how it is. It takes so much trust, effort and adaptability to maintain an LDR, which is especially difficult for a relationship so new.
Lou's time in New York was nice to read about. With Agnes, Joshua and Margot, there really was quite a bit of drama! This time, the events didn't feel like they were all over the place, which is a great thing. It was nice to read about Lou's struggle with maintaining an LDR and feeling like she belonged. Through Agnes, Lou gains more perspectives about immigrants, which she is. Through Joshua, who looks an awful lot like Will, she learns that Will cannot be replaced. Through Margot, she learns to cherish what she has and not to let her pride get in the way of that. It's nice that she learns lessons along the way through meeting and interacting with people.
P.S. Joshua is an ASSHOLE! He was charming at the beginning but eventually revealed himself to be a pompous brat who was embarrassed by Lou and what she did for a living. Red flag!
Either way, while this is a nice book that talks about realistic things, I still don't see the need for a TRILOGY. Me Before You was a package on its own. It was a story with a beautiful beginning and ending. It was perfect. Such perfect stories don't need sequels. It's nice to read about Lou's life experiences and character growth after the events of the first book, but I understand why some people are disappointed.
In conclusion, I recommend this book to readers who enjoyed the first two books in the trilogy. This is a story about Lou finding herself, which has been a struggle even before she met Will. Lou certainly grew a lot throughout this novel, and it's worth reading about. I think it's sweet to see Lou maintaining a new relationship while keeping Will's will and legacy alive.

The writing is good and I like Louisa as a character. I just don’t understand what the point of having a trilogy was.
