Oh Louisa Clark the First, how I love you!!! You are adorable, quirky, full of heart and just a one of a kind girl I'd love to have as a friend. In Me Before You, my heart was broken. It took me a few days to recover. That's the sign of a good author. In After Me I liked that the story continued but didn't feel the connection I had in the first book. In Still Me, I felt that connection. We see the Louisa that everyone fell in love with. And you see glimpses of Will without it being a cry fest. This was a fun third book in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I love how it ended - she can stop or keep going with the series. Jojo Moyes, with this book you made me fall in love with the series all over again.

I really enjoyed seeing Lou’s journey throughout these books. I feel slightly conflicted on what to give it cause I did enjoy it but there were parts I feel like dragged a little, whereas book 2 my feelings were all over the place but I gave it a solid 4.
I didn’t particularly like how the storyline with the lady she came to be a companion for ended. One moment you’d think Agnes was going to finally stand up for herself and express what she wants and then the next moment she’s letting you get thrown under the bus while slightly cushioning your fall.
And the American version of Will was a little weird. And he also ended up being kind of an ass.
The real kicker though was Lou’s relationship with Sam. He encouraged her to take this job in New York, that it would be good for her and that they could make their relationship work but then he doesn’t really want to write her any letters or even an email while they’re apart. And then when he comes to visit the whole weekend is ruined cause he gets food poisoning but at the end he feels better and wants to spend time together now with no regards to the fact she has to go back to her job. Like oh well you should be late now that I feel good. And he disregarded her concerns about his new paramedic partner perhaps being a bit too friendly without really taking her concerns into consideration. Like yes was she maybe jumping to conclusions without ever having met her and just cyber stalking her, very highly. But her concerns were valid, this woman was cozying up to him and he allowed it cause “being apart was harder than he thought it’d be.” I had such high hopes for Sam and he really let me and Lou down.
I did appreciate that he did make an effort towards the end when Lily informed him of Lou’s fake upcoming nuptials and that he told her all the things he should have said earlier. I like to believe they got a second chance and started new.
Oh a highlight was the sort of friendship Lou eventually makes with the old lady across the hall. I liked how they both helped each other out when they really needed someone.

Lou went through so much and is lovely to see how she finds her place in the world, and how she finds happiness, even though she doesn't fully get there until the last page.
Finally I have my Lou back!!!
Một Lou đã biến mất ở phần 2, nay đã được thể hiện lại 1 cách sống động ở phần 3. Với sự háo hức, tò mò bước vào cuộc sống mới, Lou đã bước vào một cuộc sống mới. Và ở đây, Lou trải qua crisis mới trong cuộc đời - khủng hoảng hiện sinh.
Dù có nhiều ý kiến không nên phát triển thêm những cuốn sau này, nhưng mình cảm thấy như này mới thật sự là đời. Sau happy ever after của câu chuyện cổ tích, luôn có những khủng hoảng khác mà cuộc đời mang lại cho mình mà.

I skimmed a lot of this because all I really cared about was out was Sam and mentions of Will. I still don’t understand a lot of her decisions, but ugh. These two sequels really don’t do the first one justice, for me anyway.
Look. I wanted to not like this. It’s basically a meandering “keeping up with Louisa Clark” then at times felt aimless and reminiscent of the cult classic “the room”… and yet.
I couldn’t put it down. I just had to know, what happens next, what are you gonna do now, what are you gonna wear next. So maybe not the best written, but incredibly engaging

I like this trilogy- a bit heftier than a normal beach read but still easy and engrossing. Louisa goes to NY to work for a crazy rich woman w secrets. She tries to keep her long distance love afloat while learning to live in NYC.
Maybe I was just an emotional wreck already, but this book had me crying routinely at Lou's love life dramas.
Another quick and engaging read, even if the ending was not a surprise.
