A Stronger Installment in the Me Before You Series

Still Me by Jojo Moyes

October 29, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

So I was not a real fan of the last book. I thought there was a lot going on there. I think moving Louisa to New York was a good idea. She gets to grow as a character which I don’t think she would have if Moyes had left her in England in her new romance with Sam. And we get some new characters that I loved reading about. I have to say though the main reason I didn’t give this five stars is that I had a hard time with the character of Sam. He didn’t need to be […]

Standing Still

Still Me by Jojo Moyes

August 24, 2018 by Carriejay Leave a Comment

Bingo Square: So Shiny! Picking up after Me Before You and After You, Still Me finds Louisa Clark in New York, working as an assistant for the Gopnik family. Specifically, Lou is there to help Agnes Gopnik, the much younger (very unhappy) second wife of Leonard Gopnik. She handles Agnes’s schedule, attends swanky events with her, and keeps her secrets. They’re friends you see. Lou also attracts other ‘friendly’ attention in the form of Josh, a man who looks strikingly similar to someone Lou loved and lost. Meanwhile, she’s left her new love, ambulance man Sam, back home in London, […]

There is Great Consolation in Simply Doing Something You Love

Still Me by Jojo Moyes

April 18, 2018 by Jenny S Leave a Comment

I would categorize the British author, Jojo Moyes, as my literary snack food.  I tend to inhale each book like a bag of potato chips—not particularly nutritious but just what I’m looking for at the time.  I read this book in one day during my spring vacation back in March and it was a perfectly good way to spend a long afternoon. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Louisa (Lou) Clark over three novels: Me Before You, After You, and now Still Me and truthfully, I’ve found her relationship with Will Traynor the least interesting thing about her.  As a result, I’ve found […]

“Know first who you are and then adore yourself accordingly.”

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

February 17, 2018 by Caitlin_D 1 Comment

Lou Clark is back in our lives and it is glorious.! My wonderful husband took me to Barnes & Nobel after our Valentine’s dinner and told me what every girl wants to hear, “Pick a book out, and don’t use your Christmas gift card.” Swoon. A bit spoilery. Do we really need a trilogy of Louisa Clark novels? Probably not, but she is clearly a beloved character (/ money maker) and Jojo Moyes is trying to give her fans what they want (/ buy a private island). Having torn through Moyes’ entire catalog I now must wait for her genius […]

I liked the bits with the horses

The Horse Dancer by Jojo Moyes

May 9, 2017 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Caitlin_ D called this story classic Jojo, and she’s absolutely right. It’s not as wonderful as, at least in my opinion, Me Before You was, but it’s still a decent story and I enjoyed the characters. “… “Lived happily ever after,” Natasha concluded, thinking back to that photograph. The woman who was well loved. John’s glare was withering. “Are you kidding me?” he said. “Who the hell gets to live happily ever after?” As usual, JoJo weaves several stories together. In the past, we have a young man who trains horses for a living to perform incredible tricks. He falls in love […]

Typical Early Moyes

The Horse Dancer by Jojo Moyes

April 26, 2017 by Caitlin_D 1 Comment

My affection for Jojo Moyes has been well documented throughout my years on CBR so I was ecstatic to see The Horse Dancer was finally released in the United States! This is an older novel and it bears more resemblance to Ship of Brides or Silver Bay than her more recent novels like Me Before You and its sequel Me After You.  Like most of Moyes novels there are various viewpoints from several main characters whose stories intertwine to form a charming story. Natasha is a busy lawyer navigating the biggest case of her career; her confidence is shaken when she reads a shocking newspaper article about a former […]

Oh, Jojo, I just can’t quit you

Paris for One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes

January 25, 2017 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

3.5 star rating for Paris for One (a novella); 2.5 star rating for the “other” stories). Paris for One is the story of Nell, 26 and unmarried (insert gasp!) but dating a rather useless boyfriend. After mentioning to him that she’s never been to Paris, he responds with “you should go one day, you’d love it), so she immediately buys plane tickets and books a hotel room for a weekend getaway. Unsurprisingly (at least, to everyone but Nell), useless boyfriend no shows, and she’s left to navigate the city alone. Of course, she meets a dashing Frenchman and rekindles her own inner flame. Blah […]

Troubled Short Stories about Troubled Romances

Paris for One and Other Stories by Jojo Moyes

January 15, 2017 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

Paris for One, the titular story for Jojo Moyes collection of short stories, is both the longest and best story in the bunch. Paris for One is more novella length and tells the story of Nell, an English girl, who impulsively buys a weekend  getaway to Paris for herself and her loser boyfriend. The loser boyfriend bails on the trip and Nell is left stranded in one of the most romantic cities in the world. The front desk woman at her hotel sends Nell to a restaurant where she meets a Parisian waiter, Fabian. Fabian is a writer who loses his […]
