I listened to this on audio book and the narration was brilliant. The setting of New York was just amazing and made me want to go back. She is kind and funny and you can’t help to want to see her be happy.

She is such a fantastic character – she has had her fair share of blows but is eternally cheery and optimistic. Louisa has her ups and downs with Sam while she is away – his first visit is a disaster when he gets food poisoning and they can’t do the sights she had planned and then he gets a sexy new female colleague and Louisa can’t help but feel jealous. The story follows Louisa for a whole year in New York, and the people she meets including Ashok, the Porter at the building where the Gopnik’s live whose wife is determined to save the library in Washington Heights and grumpy old Mrs De Witt who lives in the building with her beloved dog Dean Martin and seems to dislike everyone. But is brought home to her however much Agnes treats her as a friend, she is ultimately just an employee. She becomes almost a friend to Agnes, helping her to navigate the world of the socialites who really don’t like or respect her as a second wife. She misses her boyfriend paramedic Sam dreadfully but she is determined to try living in New York for a while before settling down back in the UK. Initially finding herself out of her depth, she soon gets used to the Gopnik’s and the life of luxury they lead. Having listened to The Giver of Stars this year, my love of Jojo Moyes was reignited!
