Louisa Clarke is one of my favorite characters. While I didn't know what would happen after the events in Me Before You, I was still excited to read two more books focused on her.
When I read the second book in the series, After You, I was disappointed. Louisa was not herself (rightfully so) but the plot felt unnecessary. So much so that I got rid of my copy. It took me two years to feel like I was finally ready to read the third book.
I am happy to say that I loved Still Me! The Louisa of the first book is back. She moves to New York for her new job and is able to start over. Louisa's escapades made me giggle out loud. Some things that happen to her made me cry. I tried to read this book slower just so it would last longer.
My advice to anyone thinking about continuing the series is to skip or slog through the second one because the third book definitely pays off!
