Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Can’t get enough of Joe Goldberg? Don’t miss the latest thriller in Caroline Kepnes’s compulsively readable You series, with an all-new plot not seen in the blockbuster Netflix show.

“Fiendish, fast-paced, and very funny.”—Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY MARIE CLAIRE

Joe Goldberg is done with the cities. He’s done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now he’s saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cozy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe.

He gets a job at the local library—he does know a thing or two about books—and that’s where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won’t meddle, he will not obsess. He’ll win her the old-fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they’ll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town.

The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a life. She’s a mother. She’s a friend. She’s . . . busy.

True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He’s ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right thing and make room for him.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on December 21, 2022

My jaw dropped, my mind is blown, eyes are popped out of my head. Silence. Sigh. Silence. More sigh. No words can be enough to define how I felt about this book. Keeping my big mouth shut and calm down my extra hyped mind might be the most challenging things in my life right now! I don’t want to giv......more

Goodreads review by Bridgett on February 12, 2021

I read You seven years ago, and gave it four stars. I read Hidden Bodies four years ago, and gave it three stars. I'm, unfortunately, giving You Love Me two stars. Were all the books like this one? If so, my taste has definitely changed over the years, because Joe's constant, rambling stream-of-c......more

NOW AVAILABLE! Hello, hey Joe. You wanna give love another go? See what I did there? 🤣 Anyhoo... Joe Goldberg is back in written form! In this third installment of the YOU series, we learn that his relationship with Love (the person) didn’t work out. Now, he’s moved on to the outskirts of Seattle, and......more

Goodreads review by Gabby on April 12, 2021

3.5 stars I love this book series and I love reading about Joe Goldberg, his character fascinates me. The first book You will probably always be my favorite, nothing can beat the magic of that book. I wasn’t a huge fan of Hidden Bodies, and while this book was definitely an improvement over the last......more

Goodreads review by Kristin on January 22, 2021

This is going to be a real, brutally honest review. So please be aware of that. If you'd like to see me praising the first two, please visit my 5 star reviews for You and Hidden Bodies, because this review will sadly be nothing like those two. Spoilers will be tagged. Okay, so right away I was ready to......more

“Kepnes’s savage takedowns . . . make Joe a more culturally aware Dexter, or perhaps a more romantic and humorous Hannibal.”LitHub
