Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by The Purple Booker.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This is my choice of the day:
Still Me – Book 3 of the Me Before You series by Jojo Moyes
p. 174 The thought of being alone for a few days felt like a little oasis.
‘What would you like me to do while you’re gone?’ I asked.
‘Have some days off!’ she said, smiling. ‘You are my friend, Louisa! I think you must have a nice time while I am away. Oh, I am so excited to see my family. So excited!’ She clapped her hands. ‘Just to Poland! No stupid charity things to go to! I am so happy.’
I remembered how reluctant she had been to leave her husband even for a night when I had arrived. And pushed the thought away.
BLURB: 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. She steps into the world of the superrich, working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger second wife, Agnes. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job and New York life.
As she begins to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past.
Like a fair proportion of the planet, I’ve read the first two books in this series and was delighted when my lovely mother sent me this hardback edition as a pressie. I’m again thoroughly caught up in Lou’s adventures, enjoying this feisty, amusing protagonist and her take on life.
I’ve never read Jojo Moyes but I’ve always been curious. I didn’t even know there was a third book😊 Hope you enjoy it!
I’m really enjoying it so far – I loved these books – she’s an author I very much respect.
Ditto Tammy’s remark. Look forward to your review and hope you enjoy.
Lynn 😀
Thank you, Lynn – it’s been great fun so far.
This is from Wendy Corsi Staub’s Kiss Her Goodbye:
“She too knows Kathleen is fibbing. She knows more than that, Kathleen realizes…”Is
Everything all right, Jen’ ?’What do you mean?’ You seem on edge.’ ‘So what else is new? Finding out you’re adopted does that to a person.”
This is a mother, Kathleen, daughter, Jen conversation. A mysterious person from Kathleen’s past is stalking 14 year old Jen.
Scary and suspenseful reading.

It sounds very tense, Rae! I hope you continue to enjoy this one:)
I’ve only read the first one but I loved it and ugly cried at the end. I really do want to read this one and the 2nd book. I love the teaser.
Yes – while there is inevitable upheaval and emotional stuff going on, I can guarantee nothing like the heartbreak at the end of the first book… But another lovely, thought-provoking read by a very talented author.
