Reviews

• Humorous, cunning and satisfying

  I couldn’t stop reading. It was a carefully plotted well written novel. Highly recommended!

• 早い！

  海外から良く本を買うのですが、一ヶ月もしないですぐ届いたのでビックリしました！ Me before,After youに続く３つ目の本ですが、まだAfter youを読んでないのでしばし積読、、 After youは評判がイマイチだったのに対し、こちらは大絶賛されたみたいで読むのが楽しみです１！

• 迅速

  直ぐ届きました、品物も綺麗でした

• Louisa Clarkの冒険はこれからも続いていく

  Me Before Youでは、 生まれ故郷のイギリスの片田舎がLouisaの世界の全てだった。 After Youでは、 Willとの別れと共にLondonに拠点を移した。 そして今作ではNew Yorkが舞台になる。 なぜ自分はこんなにもLouisa Clarkの物語に心惹かれるのか。 Louisaは決して器用なタイプではなく、 物語全般を通して、 ゆっくりと成長を遂げていく。 最初は自分の生まれ故郷だけが彼女の世界だったのに、 最終的には異国の地で、 自分の足でNew Yorkに立っている。 これ以上彼女の人生を見れないのかと思うと、 読み終えてしまうのがとても寂しかった。 この後、Louisaはどんな人生を送っていくのか。 そんな余韻と共に読み終えた。 ３部作を通して英文はそれほど難しくはない。 単語がやや難しいところもあるが、 展開も早く読みやすいのではと思う。 ぜひ多くの人に読んで欲しい一冊。

• Louisa Clark in New York

  単身New YorkにやってきたLouisa、今回の仕事は高級住宅地区のGopnik家、気難しいsecond wifeの世話係。慣れない国で悪戦苦闘しながら、持ち前の明るさとガッツで次第にNew Yorkに馴染んでいく姿が微笑ましい。Samとの関係は遠距離ゆえに些細なことで心がすれ違い、Willを彷彿させるJoshの出現で彼女の心は大きく揺れ動く。 前作After you がドタバタ劇の様相を呈していたのに対して、今回は落ち着いた心暖まる完結編になっていると思います。Willも空の上で今度こそ安心していることでしょう。

• When I run my eyes down the first page of Still Me, I got the feeling that this book is something quite special. Jojo Moyes has such a captivating and strongly engaging writing style that slowly builds up the storyline and then hits the reader with lots of revelations/ subplots. It is very hard to tear your eyes away from the book, but at the same time, you don’t want to finish it because it is so GOOD!. When I finished Still Me, it felt like I have just said goodbye to my dear friend. Lou is an all-around spell-bounding character that everyone will fall in love with. She is elegant, witty, level-headed, determined and evocative lading lady who is finding her voice in the world. I so enjoyed following Lou on her journey to New York and watching her progressing into a woman who is not afraid to be herself. Equally, I was very fond of the secondary characters that grace the pages of the story. There were all so passionate, realistic and lovable bunch ( who would not fall in love with Lou’s family?) Even though Lou’s family are all across the pond, Lou very quickly finds friends and moulds herself into the New York lifestyle. Working for wealthy American high society |Louisa learns that not everything seems to be smoothly flowing like the sparkly champagne. Still Me is a beautifully crafted story that is sumptuously emotional, witty and beautifully inspirational. I loved every minute in the company of this book.

• My first Jojo Moyes. Loved the pace and depth of storytelling. Now I will go back and read Me Before You and then watch it on Amazon Prime.

• I should have known that I was going to ugly cry while reading Still Me since this makes the 8th Jojo Moyes book that I’ve read, and I’ve never been able to read one of her books without being an emotional mess! Moyes is so wonderful at tugging on her reader’s heartstrings, and no character does it better than lovely, sweet Louisa Clark! Lou is back for a 3rd time in Still Me, and I for one was thrilled to read about a character who I had grown to love so much in the first two books. I was also glad to reconnect with past characters, like her family (her parents always make me laugh) and the Traynors, that I’ve grown to love too! While I agree with many that After You was not as good as Me Before You (I did thoroughly enjoy book 2 even if I didn’t love it like I did book 1), I can’t say that about Still Me since I felt it was almost as good as the first (honestly, nothing can top Me Before You)! In Still Me, Lou is finally living up to the promise she made to Will to live boldly and say yes to new experiences. She’s left her family and her boyfriend, ambulance Sam, in England and moved to New York City to be an assistant…and secret keeper…to Agnes, the younger, second wife of the extremely wealthy Mr. Gopnik. “You always have one foot in two places. You can never be truly happy because, from the moment you leave, you are two selves, and wherever you are one half of you is always calling to the other. This is our price, Louisa. This is the cost of who we are.” Lou quickly finds out that it can be very lonely trying to figure out who you really are in a new place while the people you know and love the most are continuing to live their lives. She feels torn between what she wants in England, with Sam, and the life that she is making for herself in NYC. Who is Louisa Clark? It was so wonderful to see Lou grow and blossom in this book. Her journey to discover just who she really is and what she wants is poignant, heartbreaking, and heartwarming. She meets some unexpected people along the way who help her remember that she is still Lou but better and that remaining true to herself is the only path she knows how to take. Moyes writing, as usual, is superb and she brilliantly shows us the scenery of NYC, the parties, the crowded streets, and more. She is an author who makes me laugh and cry, and I did so much of both with Still Me since Moyes always seems to get Lou in the wildest situations! Moyes has definitely become an auto-buy author for me, so I can’t wait to see what she writes next! I love Lou, I truly do, and I hated saying goodbye to her, but I felt that Moyes gave her a happy ending, on her own terms which is all that I’ve ever wanted her to have. It was an utter joy to spend time with Lou one more time…Highly, highly recommended!
