As a sequel, I was concerned this book wouldn’t reach the same level that Me Before You had in my eyes. I was wrong. The first book created such a strong impression on me in regards to Louisa that I was thrilled to journey on this life after Will path. Still Me brings us to Louisa in the year or two following her time with Will and how she is recovering from the time she had with him. Grief has many stages and the love that she holds for Will as she attempts to move on from him is one that takes time. This book is relatable to anyone who is grieving and needs to find a new way and a new purpose in life. Louisa finds herself failing at keeping promises and struggling to discover what her life holds now without Will to take care of each day. She negotiates travels, new jobs, independent living, relationships (friends, lovers, support group comrades, and more) as she tries to heal from the loss of what she had hoped would be the life she wanted with Will. Louisa’s journey shares in telling the additional stories of Will’s parents, her former co-worker Nathan, her sister and nephew as well as new and very important character Lily. Highly recommend this story and looking forward to book three in the series. The final chapter should be a good read based on Jojo Moyes track record with the first two books.
