Murder at the High School Reunion (Maya and Sandra Mystery, #5)  by Lee Hollis  opens with Maya and Sandra taking on a case of a former high school classmate and mean girl, Tawny,  right before their twenty-fifth high school reunion. When Maya and Sandra get stuck on their case, they enlist the help of another former high school classmate and friend turned actress, Alyssa. Soon after, they all attend the reunion, and Tawny is murdered after making a scene with her soon to be ex. When Alyssa becomes a suspect, Maya and Sandra must prove the innocence of their friend. I received an Advanced Readers Copy ARC of this book from NetGalley for free in exchange for my honest review. Being approved to read Murder at the High School Reunion (Maya and Sandra Mystery, #5) by Lee Hollis made my day, and I wasn't disappointed in the least. As soon as I started reading the book, it drew me in, and it felt like I was with an old friend, in the form of a story. I absolutely loved that the...

Book Review: Still Me (Me Before You, #3) by Jojo Moyes

Book Review of Still Me (Me Before You, #3) by Jojo Moyes
Still Me (Me Before You, #3) by Jojo Moyes is the third and final installment in the Me Before You Trilogy. We catch up with Louisa Clark arriving for her new career as a personal assistant to Agnes Gopnik in New York, New York. Living in the servant quarters and having to quickly adapt to this strange, new life of high society, Louisa finds herself desperately missing her boyfriend Sam and her family back in England. When Louisa meets Joshua Ryan at one of the high society events, her life is turned upside down.

What can I say about Still Me (Me Before You, #3)? Jojo Moyes is an amazing writer, and I absolutely was sucked back into Louisa Clark's story. I am glad I had a three day weekend to be able to finish this memorizing novel and am a bit sad that the author mentioned at the very end that she likely won't write any more stories about this character. This makes me sad, but I am guessing the author may be feeling a little burnout with this series. That or she really didn't want to write a series but felt pressured to do. I don't know the reason for sure, but I definitely hope she reconsiders and writes at least one more novel containing Louisa Clark and her family.

One of the biggest things I loved about this book is that Louisa finally starts to come into her own and exploring opportunities that present themselves to her. She finally realizes that she has to live her own life and can't always do what is expected from her. Another thing that I loved was that things aren't always what they seem, especially when it comes to people with sour dispositions. Moyes definitely did a great job of wrapping up Louisa's story in a great
way, but as I said before, I still want more!

I definitely don't have very many complaints about the book. The only complaint that I have is really a minor one. At one point in the book, Louisa directly talks to the reader. This seemed a bit odd to me and detracted a bit from the story line. Other than that, I absolutely loved the book. I gave this book four out of five stars.
