Sí, no pega con los otros dos libros, pero está preciosa! Ya, no hay que juzgar por la portada, lo sé! Necesito saber cómo continúa y espero, de verdad espero que la autora de por terminada esta historia. Es suficiente! Moyes wisely knows that life-changing events don’t always change our lives for the better. . . . After You may not be the sequel you expect, but it is the sequel you needed.” —Entertainment Weekly I can’t believe we didn’t get any closure to this story!!! Yes, Mr. Gopnik found out about Agnes daughter and he spoke with Lou, but damn that’s not enough! For the way they treated her he should have begged on his knees for her forgiveness! And Lou?! Lou must be a saint because if they would have treated me like that I would have given him a piece of my mind!!! It’s good that she managed to make the deal for the library but seriously! How they treated her was horrible and there are so many things that were left open. For instance Agnes’s affair with the artist! What happened with that?! Did Mr. Gopnik ever find out about it?! And why the hell didn’t Agnes try to make amends?! All the while she told Lou that she’s her best friend and then she betrayed her in the worst way possible and didn’t even apologize for it?!! I mean Lou covered for her; she was jobless, disgraced and homeless because of the secret she kept for HER!!! And she didn’t even apologize when it all came out?! WTF?! That’s so not okay! What a spineless and unprincipled person!!! It wouldn’t have killed her to say sorry! If I would have been Lou I would have been so damn angry! GRRRR! Lou is a saint. I have no other explanation... If you're even remotely considering this one, I would say, go for it. Even if for nothing other than the times Lou reminisces about Will. The snippets of Will throughout—letters written to his mother from his own time in New York and his anecdotes about life that pop up when Lou needs them most—acted as a salve of sorts, healing some of my past disappointments and reigniting those feelings I experienced with their unforgettable beginning. Lou once promised someone special to her that she'd live boldly. But after rebuilding her life following crushing grief, she's finally gotten the courage to do just that, accepting a job working for an ultra-rich family in New York City. She leaves her family and her boyfriend behind and heads to America, ready to say yes to everything life has to offer her.
Me Before You film adaptation awards: People's Choice Awards Winner for Favourite Dramatic Movie (2017); [38] [39] ASCAP Award Winner for Top Box Office Films (2017); [38] Golden Trailer Award Winner for Best Romance (2017) [38] Once again, Moyes delivers a heart-wrenching and relatable book about love and loss that will stay with you long after you’ve finished.” — InStyle.com But the Bumble Bee tights still exist and still come out in the moments when she needs to be reminded of who she is.Working as the assistant to Agnes Gopnik, the much-younger second wife of a tremendously wealthy financier and philanthropist, Louisa gets to see first-hand that you can have everything you've dreamed of and yet still be crushingly unhappy. Agnes loathes being on public display, judged by the gossipy, vindictive friends of her husband's first wife, yet she is forced to travel in the same social circles. She knows her stepdaughter hates her, knows their housekeeper likes nothing more than to torment her. Yet she finds a kindred spirit in Louisa, in that they're both struggling to be present in two very different worlds. In this book we see our much-loved Louisa Clarke moving to New York City to be the "assistant" to a wealthy young socialite. A socialite who is not much liked by others in her social circles as her husband was once married to their friend. A friend he divorced to marry his much younger massage therapist. Before she is even over her jet lag, Louisa is running in central park, shopping and attending fancy social events. She is thrown into a glamorous life one that is much different from the life she lived in England with her paramedic boyfriend, Sam. However, nothing good ever lasts with Lou and suddenly she finds her entire world thrown upside down. Throw in the long-distance dramas with Sam and I was hooked! The parts with Sam really got to me, as I know first hand how god-awful distance can be for a relationship, and I desperately wanted things to work out for them. This story made me laugh out loud. Lily (Will’s daughter) is perfection in her horrific teenager-ness. A new character Margot is terrible and wonderful. And oh— the letters. Moyes won a bursary financed by The Independent newspaper which allowed her to attend the postgraduate newspaper journalism course at City University in 1992. [13] She subsequently worked for The Independent for the next 10 years (except for one year, when she worked in Hong Kong for the Sunday Morning Post) in various roles, becoming Assistant News Editor in 1998. [13] In 2002 she became the newspaper's Arts and Media Correspondent. [14] Writing career [ edit ]
This was an enjoyable book and there is no denying that it kept me reading. I basically devoured this in a few days, yet I still feel so very conflicted about it all. When I went into this book I wanted closure and I didn’t get it because “Still Me” somehow managed to leave me with even more questions than I had before. I wish I could say that to finish this series made me happy but I feel like Jojo Moyes let me down. Maybe it were my high expectations, who knows? All I know is that this gets 3 stars from me because there were just too many issues I couldn’t overlook. This said maybe the book just wasn’t for me?! I guess we’ll never know. XD What was the Me Before You movie experience like? If you were to cast Still Me , who do you see playing some of the new main characters? Still Me was really enjoyable and definitely poignant in places. It's a powerful meditation on being true to yourself, no matter how many people want you to do otherwise, and the struggles doing so may cause. It's also a story about the importance of saying what you think, of expressing how you feel (which these characters were definitely not good at), or else what occurs around you might not be what you wanted. I enjoyed the first two books in the 'Me Before You' series, then I won the third one, Still Me, by Jojo Moyes, in a Goodreads Giveaway. I was quite excited and nervous, as I adored the first book but thought the second was just decent/good. I am very glad to say this third one is much closer to the first! Once upon a time there was a small-town girl who lived in a small world. She was perfectly happy, or at least she told herself she was. Like many girls, she loved to try different looks, to be someone she wasn't. But, like too many girls, life had chipped away at her until, instead of finding what truly suited her, she camouflaged herself, hid the bits that made her different. For a while she let the world bruise her until she decided it was safer not to be herself at all.I know this—nobody gets everything. And we immigrants know this more than anyone. 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.” I laughed and teared up at this book. Moyes does a great job of a putting the character in a terrible situation where you think “Oh no, how is she going to get out of this?” I just didn’t laugh quite as hard or cry as much as I did in Me Before You. Still, this novel is worth your time.
Post-recovery, Louisa joins a support group based in a local church. Around the same time, she is approached by Lily, Will's unknown daughter, who seeks to understand her late father and connect with her paternal grandparents. Lily's strained relations with her immediate family prompt her to move in with Louisa. Agnes, to those outside, would appear to have everything she needs to be perfectly happy. Born in Poland, she came to America with very little, sharing an apartment with friends – friends who no longer talk to her because her husband is wealthy. Leonard’s friends, associates, are loyal to the original Mrs. Gopnik, and the social outings Agnes is forced to attend makes her an open target of hostile attitudes, and Louisa can see, can feel the hostility like a ghost hovering, looking for one more chance to send a shiver down her spine. Agnes feels alone. Jojo’s work never fails to bring a smile to my face with her honesty, humour and empathy about what it is to be human —[Still Me is] a must read!” —Emilia Clarke Lou's journey is a combination of the first two books. It takes the reality from the second book with the emotions from the first book, then smashes them together in a final wrapper on discovering what makes Lou 'still me.'Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She steps into the world of the superrich, working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger second wife, Agnes. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job and New York life. Sinceramente me ha encantado! He visto a la Lou que amo; divertida, extravagante, con todas esas locuras... tan valiente y atrevida. Lanzándose al mundo, dando siempre lo mejor de sí misma. SIENDO ELLA MISMA. Es la protagonista que me conquistó en el primer libro. Jojo Moyes tiene un don para escribir, es maravillosa. ¡Qué historia tan preciosa! Y creo que este fue uno de los puntos que más me molestó del libro. A pesar de que Lou le ruega a Sam que le escriba frecuentemente, él no lo hace, alega que siempre está ocupado y cansado. Pero Lou sigue allí, intentándolo por los dos. Y es sólamente cuando conoce a Josh, un hombre que se parece a Will físicamente, que Sam vuelve a interesarse en ella, en pedirle que no lo vea. Todo un desastre, vamos. Me parecía tristísimo ver a Louisa perder un poco de sí misma cuando estaba con alguno de estos dos hombres. ¡Cientos de páginas le costó entender que no debe cambiar nada de sí misma para encajar más en los estándares de las personas con las que sale! Louisa Clark has arrived. In New York that is. Her old friend Nathan has gotten her a job as an assistant to Agnes Gopnik, a wealthy married woman who has trouble fitting in and who more than anything, needs a friend. For Louisa its an opportunity. To see the world and to do what Will always told her to do. And this time, Louisa takes it. New York. NEW YORK. I think Lou is very identifiable for a whole raft of people. In Me Before You, it was about being aware that life had somehow slipped away from you. That you’ve reached a certain age and have found yourself leading a very small life, and not being entirely sure how you got there or whether you even wanted to be somewhere else. But in After You, a lot of readers seemed to identify with her grieving process—the difficulty of everybody else expecting you to move on and be cheerful and outgoing when you really don’t feel like that at all. Most important, Lou is someone who really tries to do the right thing—but often does the wrong thing—which I think makes her like an awful lot of us . . .
Lou Clark knows how many miles lie between her new home in New York and her new boyfriend Sam in London. It was enjoyable to read and I kind of devoured it in a few days, yet at the same time it wasn’t really what I expected/wanted?!

Louisa Clark arrived in New York from England. She began working as Agnes Gopnik’s assistant. The Gopniks were a wealthy family that lived in the Lavery hotel. Louisa lived in the staff quarters of the Gopniks’ apartment with her friend Nathan, who was Mr. Gopnik’s personal trainer, and Ilaria, who was the Gopniks’ housekeeper. Agnes, Mr Gopnik’s young Polish wife, insisted that Louisa view her as a friend. Agnes invited Louisa to accompany her to a charity event called the Yellow Ball because she felt uncomfortable around all the people who judged her at Mr. Gopniks’ elite social events. At the ball, Louisa met Josh Ryan, a man from a wealthy family who looked like Louisa’s first love Will Traynor. Following the ball, Agnes expressed to Louisa how uncomfortable she felt in her new lifestyle, having lost all her old friends once she married her rich husband.
