Louisa is following Will’s advice, stepping out to new experiences, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. And her natural kindness earns her a number of friends who make it all worthwhile. The evolution of Josh’s and Sam’s romances will send you up in alt and down in despair as the truth seeps through…that Louisa is such a quirky sweetheart who learns so much about herself. They bring a humanity to the building, unlike the residents at the Lavery who are either at war or studiously neutral. I experienced such a range of emotions with that woman, wanting to believe her. There are positives as well, including the vintage clothing shop Louisa discovers, that unexpected side to Mrs De Witt, and the library that needs saving. There’s also Sam an ocean away, and the temptation of Josh, who keeps showing up at all the wrong times. The trimmings along Louisa’s journey include a depressed wife with a major secret who is battered on most fronts by the ex-wife whose friends do their best to tear away at Agnes. And the trials and tribulations Louisa goes through to get there…whew…all related in first person protagonist point-of-view. It’s an emotional drama of finding yourself, the person you were meant to be. In 2018, Still Me won the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction. Third in the Me Before You literature series and revolving around Louisa Clark, looking for new experiences in New York City. Other books by this author which I have reviewed include After You Literature in a Kindle edition that was published by Pamela Dorman Books on Januand has 368 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
