Book Review #82: Still Me by Jojo Moyes

Image
  Me Before You, the first book in this trilogy, is one of my absolute favourite books, and it was one of the first books that I ever reviewed. It took me a few years, but near the end of last year I read the second book, 'After You'. I didn't review it because I didn't have much to say about it, but I didn't feel like the first book needed a sequel. And however I feel about this third instalment, I don't think this story needed to be a trilogy. After the events of the first two books, Lou Clark is living in New York, working for a rich family, and trying to keep in touch with her boyfriend back home. While in New York, Lou meets a man who reminds her of someone she used to love, and when New York begins to feel like home, Lou is torn. Where is she supposed to be? Who is she supposed to be? And how will she ever figure it out? While I enjoyed this book more than the second one, I didn't love it. For a start, this is an almost 500-page book. Now, while this i...

Me Before You | Film Review

Image
Hey Guys x I've just watched this and I'm actually still crying so bear with me! I read this book ages ago, so I don't know why it took me so long to see the film! Actually, I do. It was one of those things where I was going to watch it with someone (my mum) but ended up watching it alone because they took too long. And I'm so glad I actually saw it on my own and got to cry in private! The film is about a girl called Lou Clarke who is in desperate need of a job. So when a well-paying job near her home opens up, caring for a quadriplegic man, she takes it, excited to be making more money. However, when Lou meets Will Traynor, things get off to a bad start. She hates going to work and wonders when, if ever, this insufferable man will give her a chance. But then she stumbles across some information that she shouldn't have found, and decides to make it her mission to give Will the best life possible. However, unbeknownst to her, getting this job wil...

11 Months and a Book Tag!

  Hey Guys x   So, as of Thursday, I have been blogging for 11 months! That's amazing!   I was thinking about this the other day, and I thought back to when I first started this blog.   I'll probably reminisce more in a month's time when I hit my blog's birthday (eeek!) but there are a few things that I want to mention now.   My first posts weren't great. To be honest, I cringe looking at them now!   My pictures were all over the place, my design was weird and I had no idea what I was doing! I was just writing to write, and loving it.   But what I've found is that, although my writing style, pictures and design have changed, definitely for the better, my purpose hasn't really changed at all.   I write because I love to write, and because I feel passionate about things.   Blogging is my favourite thing to do, it's amazing to be able to write something that I feel really passionate about, and then get, e...
