Description: 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. 

As she begins to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. Before long, Lou finds herself torn between Fifth Avenue where she works and the treasure-filled vintage clothing store where she actually feels at home. And when matters come to a head, she has to ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart that lives in two places?

Funny, romantic, and poignant, Still Me follows Lou as she navigates how to stay true to herself, while pushing to live boldly in her brave new world.


Hello Readers.

To say that I was worried about this book would be an understatement. Having been disappointed by the second in this series, I wasn't really sure how this one would be. Sequels can be surprising. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised with this one. 

Gone were the moments of "What in the...?" that were present in the second book. The characters are more complex. They have grown in very relatable ways. The author captured some very crucial events in a person's life and that is not an easy task to do. Putting a character in an environment completely unknown to them could have led to some disappointment. However, the transition textually was beautifully done. I could praise this book for hours but I do not like spoilers. 

I am rating this book Four Red Books because I greatly enjoyed it. It feels more like the first one did. It flows better and just overall feels better. The storyline wasn't all over the place. I would highly recommend it.
