'Thriller of the year' Daily Mail When aspiring writer Guinevere Beck strides into the bookstore where Joe works he is instantly smitten. Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: tough, razor-smart and sexier than his wildest dreams. He'd kill to have her. Soon Beck can't resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom made for her. When a string of macabre incidents tears her world apart there is only one person she can turn to. But there's more to Joe than Beck realises and much more to Beck than her perfect facade. The obsessive relationship quickly spirals into a whirlwind of deadly consequences... A chilling account of unrelenting, terrifying deceit, Caroline Kepnes' You is a thriller more perversely clever and dangerously twisted than any YOU have ever read. 'If you only read one new thriller this year, make it this one. It will stay with you long after you have put it down' Daily Mail 'A fantastically creepy thriller. The kind of book you put your life on hold for' Glamour 'Clever and chilling' ELLE 'A brilliant tale It's Gone Girl meets a sinister version of Girls' MARIE CLAIRE 'An addictive thriller!' Closer'I am RIVETED, AGHAST, AROUSED you name it. The rare instance when prose and plot are equally delicious.' Lena Dunham on YOU.

5 ⭐️. Adored the tv series and the book is great. Joe is a perfect villain! You almost can‘t help but root for him. Fast-paced read.

Wow. I doubt I‘ll be able to read the others. How do you top something so manipulative and maniacal!? Joe is such a great antihero (is that what he is in this book?) that the story kept me going. Once he started digging, I had to see what happened. Even when the inevitable happens. 5⭐️

I‘m sharing a book series that I read the first 2 books from but I‘m not sure if I want to continue with it or not. I own the first 2 books and I liked them when I read them. If I decide to continue with the series, I‘ll have to reread the first 2 books. If not then I‘ll probably unhaul the first 2 books. I don‘t see any point in keeping them on my shelf if I‘m not going to continue with the series.

I saw the TV show before reading the book and that might have soiled some of the effect of shock for me. I can obviously see the technique that was present to ease the reader into the mind of a psychotic stalker, and I believe it would have been very effective had it not already been spoiled for me via the show. I did spoil myself however, and it felt too familiar and predictable to me. My own fault of course, but still a good read. 3.5/5 ⭐️s

It took me a little bit longer to get through my last book than I had thought. My job has been pretty hectic and I haven‘t gotten as much free reading time. However, I‘m so excited to start my next one! This book has been long overdue on my TBR, and my best friend has been hounding me for a couple years to get this one checked off. I‘ve heard so much hype also in part due to the Netflix show, so let‘s see how it goes!

Yuck. So disturbing. Rarely do I think this, but the Netflix series is far superior in its writing.

DogMomIrene Interesting. I haven‘t watched the series. I was waiting to read the book. May rethink that one🤔 1y

Mehso-so

A crazy ride: it's scary to think how someone can utilize today's technology to infiltrate and submerse themselves into your life so easily. How, when living in a larger city, some people can cease to exist when hidden amongst others. Kepnes was so good at balancing the dark side of Joe with the unlikable actions of Beck; the logic behind Joe's actions mixed with the lies told by Beck.

#Trappedonanisland September edition @Laughterhp thank you for your picks this month! I chose these two and listened on audiobook. To be honest I am still in the middle (this month got very busy) but I plan on finishing up in October. “You” is similar to the show which I loved and I always like JD Robb so I am enjoying both picks. @aperfectmjk

I read the book/ebook when I could and listened to the audiobook during other times. Oh. My. Gosh! It was an incredible read. I did watch the series when it first came out, but the book is so much better!

I know this has become a popular show on Netflix, but I‘m bailing. I‘ve listened for 2 1/2 hours out of 11. Very slow moving and I don‘t need this crazy, stalker (I know, redundant) in my head. I hope others can find enjoyment in the book , but it is “no go” for me.

I was so excited to read this book. I loved the Netflix series and decided to read the novel before starting season 3.
I'm sad to say that after reading this book, I stopped watching the show. If you have watched the show and felt it was harsh or crude at times; the book is much harsher.
I didn't like the language used. I disliked all of the characters. Do not buy a book, just because you like the show it's based on.

Wow defo better then the Netflix series Good read as I did cheat read some of it by listening to it on borrow box and reading the book as I listened

KT1432 That‘s good to know! I have been enjoying the Netflix series (just started watching season 1 around the holidays and now I‘m on season 3), but I almost always think the book is better. I‘ll probably read the series this year! 2y
Bookworm04 Yes plz do it worth it. I already 1/4 way through book 2 of it defiantly darker and detailed in the books and audio (edited) 2y
