Still Me by Jojo Moyes FIC Moy



I have read a couple of other books by Moyes and enjoyed them. The main character in this book, Louisa Clark, was introduced in the book Me Before You.  It has been so long since I read that one I only remember it generally and that I liked it!  You certainly don't have to have read that book to enjoy this one - she gives enough information that you know what happened.

Louisa is leaving England for an adventure for a year.  It wasn't easy to leave behind her family and Sam, the love of her life but she wants to live in New York City and take advantage of all it has to offer.   Her new employers are the ultra-rich Gopniks.

They live in a large apartment with plenty of staff and of course lots of drama! Louisa's job is to be an assistant to the young and beautiful Mrs. Gopniks (who is a former masseuse from Poland).  Mrs. Gopniks should have an easy life.  Her husband adores her.  But his ex-wife still runs in the same social circles and she is always trying to humiliate her successor.

There are a cast of characters who live in the apartment building - a handsome, rich American man, and a dog who has an important role in the story.  A touch of romance, some secrets and a glimpse into the world of the rich - an enjoyable story!
