b'Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. When last we spoke with Jojo, dear listener, it was more than five years ago and Me Before You had just come out. No thronging crowds at book signings, no billion-dollar movies with Deanery\\u2019s and Gayle, no After Me and of course no Still Me her latest and last featuring Louisa Clark. Now of course she has had three novels on the NYT best sellers list and is translated into hundreds of languages. I am amazed that she\\u2019ll still talk to me\\u2014although I was amazed five years ago.

For those of you living in some other universe, Jojo has written, in addition to the Louisa trilogy, Paris for One, The Horse Dancer, The Last Letter from Your Lover One plus One and other great books. A total of I think 11 or so.

And is now working on scripts and screenplays for new movies based these titles.

In Still Me Louisa has left Ambulance Sam for the moment, or is it just a moment, and ventured to America, to New York City and once again is a caretaker of sorts, this time for the Gopniks and specifically for the super wealthy, super beautiful, super enigmatic Agnes. Nathan got her the job. Along the way she meets a new guy, Josh, who looks a lot like Will but doesn\\u2019t necessarily act like him. And Ms. DeWitt, and Ashok and Garry and a bunch more characters as thoroughly and enjoyably drawn as Jojo has in her other books.

I\\u2019ve lived in New York, I still go there three or four times a year, and after a week or two of research in the city, Jojo seems to know as much about this unique city as I do.

In any event, as a conclusion to a remarkable trilogy Still Me does not disappoint and it reminds us of what a wonderful, quirky and really good woman Louis Clark is.

With that, welcome Jojo and thanks for coming by again to talk to us after all this time.
