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. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job and New York life.Īs she begins to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. She steps into the world of the superrich, working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger second wife, Agnes. 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. Still Me was the closure to Louisa’s story that I needed. I was shattered after Me Before You and I still kind of can’t let go of my sadness. My rage simmered throughout After You and Still Me because Moyes writes such likeable characters. I’ll say this, Me Before You was probably my favorite book in this trilogy, but that isn’t to say I disliked the other two. A trace of anxiousness creeps across her face.By the time I picked up this book, my anger at Me Before You had almost subsided, but then Jojo Moyes decided to continue to stab me in the heart with Louisa’s story. “It’s mostly positive, so far,” she says. But she has been checking Twitter after each screening to see what people have being tweeting about the movie. It appears that JoJo Moyes really is at peace as her novel-her golden child-comes to the screen. She thought Emilia and Sam were perfect (Emilia, she jokes, is a lot more like Louisa in real life than she is Khalessi.) And yes, she agreed with all cuts from the novel. before a scene was shot, asking her opinions on lines. “There were few egos in the room.” She was kept in the loop about casting, and Sharrock would often ring her 6 a.m. “I felt consulted with and referred back to at all times,” she said. She says has a great relationship with Me Before You’s director Thea Sharrock. “There was a lot of horror stories about writers and Hollywood going around at the time.” This production was a collaboration, a “happy ship.” She alludes to these cases in a hushed tone. Moyes says Me Before You was not like a 50 Shades or a Mary Poppins. Travers, the length Walt Disney went to woo her, and in the end, how it still may not have been enough for her. Banks chronicled the particularities of P.L. James clashed with 50 Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson, who she thought wasn’t staying true to the heart (or erm, loins) of her X-rated novel. There are famous examples of when it doesn’t work. But there’s a second question that most people don’t think about: is this going to live up to the author’s expectations? There’s a common saying that the book is always better than the movie, that there’s no way it can live up to readers’ expectations. “I think she is just as valid a character as he is.” The one that I felt really strongly about is that Louisa should not be saved by Will anymore than he should be saved by her,” she said. Did that part of her feel any guilt about cutting the assault? I bring up her earlier comment, that she wants her books to be feminist.
