About this deal

Moyes always creates characters you care about and Still Me is full of them' Daily Express, Best Holiday Reads No, like really, really tired. Like cry at TV advertisements and fall asleep while brushing my teeth and end up with toothpaste all over my chest tired. GradeSaver. "Jojo Moyes Biography | List of Works, Study Guides & Essays | GradeSaver". www.gradesaver.com . Retrieved 10 August 2022. I don't think there needed to be a trilogy. I really don't. Let me start by saying I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Me Before you. It literally blew me away. I read it twice and have seen the movie three times. I think it is Moyes Swan song. It doesn't get any better than that - which is why the two books which followed could not live up to their predecessor.

[6] Life and early career [ edit ]

Louisa Clark is a character that will probably stay with you forever, I mean Hell, I still think about Me Before You till this day and I never regret going into this series, I love it! I'm always delighted to know about her and her life, it's like going on an adventure to be honest, it's an amazing experience. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, discover the love story that captured over 20 million hearts in Me Before You, After You, and Still Me. Moyes lives on a farm in Great Sampford, Essex, with her husband, journalist Charles Arthur, and their three children. [45] [46] Her animals include an ex-racehorse [44] and a rescued 58kg (128lb) female Pyrenean mountain dog. [47] Bibliography [ edit ] Novels [ edit ]The key was making sure that anyone you allowed to walk beside you didn't get to decide which you were, and pin you down like a butterfly in a case. The key was to know that you could always somehow find a way to reinvent yourself again." My favourite character in this story was Mrs. DeWitt, a woman who is haughty and demanding, a bit imperious in her treatment of Louisa, at first. Eventually, Louisa manages to find her more agreeable side and a friendship, of sorts, if born.

There are so many versions of ourselves we can choose to be. Once, my life was destined to be measured out in the most ordinary of steps. I learnt differently from a man who refused to accept the version of himself he'd been left with, and an old lady who saw, conversely, that she could transform herself, right up to a point when many people would have said there was nothing left to be done. 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] I wanted this book to bring me some closure! I wanted Lou to get her HEA (I didn’t even care if it’s with Sam or with a new guy all I wanted for her was to be stupidly and madly in love and most importantly happy!) and I wanted no new topics to be opened but old ones to be closed! And I didn’t get any of those things which makes me feel all sorts of bitter and salty. *lol* Okay, we could argue about the HEA here but for me that ending just isn’t satisfying. I’ve a love-hate relationships with cliffhangers but what I really can’t stand are open endings and this ending even though no real open ending still falls into that category for me. And before I talk even more in riddles here I’ll just make a spoiler tag and write it all off my chest. Be prepared to get an uncensored and pretty ranty opinion here.

Author Q&A

If you haven’t read or watched Me Before You, and know the premise of After You, there are spoilers ahead about those two books. I’ll save the important details for you to read for Still Me: The Story of Still Me by JoJo Moyes In a couple of your books, including Still Me , you created dogs that, much like your human characters, have distinct personalities and quirks. Why do your animal characters receive such prominent roles?

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. Following a new series of events Lou finds herself facing other challenges trying to make something out of herself and not just the plain Louisa Clark from Stortfold.

Need Help?

You had to seize the day. You had to embrace opportunities as they came. You had to be the kind of person who said yes”. After You is a continuation of Louisa Clark's life after Will's death. Pursuing a more meaningful existence, as urged by Will, Louisa relocates to London and secures a job at an airport bar. One night, an unexpected conversation startles her on the roof of her building, leading to a severe injury from a fall. Two books post game-changer and I have to wonder, would any follow-up to Me Before You be impressive enough to rival the thought-provoking circumstances or raw emotion Louisa and Will's story evoked from the masses? At this point, I think not. The takeaway here—some things should be left to stand on their own. 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." Class divide is a major theme in your books. Lou often finds herself in circles far different from her working-class upbringing, with employment to the Traynors in Me Before You and the Gopniks in Still Me . Why is this dichotomy important to you and in your writing?
