Book Review

Still Me by Jojo Moyes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Louisa Clark is so lovable. No matter what befalls her, she manages to land on her feet. She has left London to accept the job of an assistant to the wealthy Mrs. Gopnik in New York city. Mr. Gopnik left his wife of many years to marry Agnes, a beautiful, but poor, Polish lady, whom he met in a massage parlor. She is accepted by no one in the Gopniks' circle, and especially not by her stepdaughter, or the other hired help. Louisa must accompany her everywhere to be the buffer that Agnes needs. Louisa is also trying to maintain a long-distance relationship with Sam, the paramedic who saved her when she fell from her rooftop apartment building. In the meantime she meets Josh, a deceased Will Traynor look-alike, who seems to like Louisa a little too much. When her first reunion with Sam goes awry, she begins to be tempted by Josh. When she does one too many favors for Agnes, it costs her her job. Jobless and homeless, and hurt by Agnes's betrayal, Louisa manages to forge a new life for herself, using her wits, talents, and the help of Mrs. DeWitt, an ornery old lady who also lives in the same building. Do Louisa and Sam call it quits? Does she end up with Josh? Too much more would ruin the many twists and turns this book takes. Could not put this book down yet didn't want it to end. I hope Ms. Moyes keeps writing!
