Publisher's Summary

‘Joe Goldberg is my guilty pleasure, my strange addiction. If loving him is wrong, I don’t want to be right’ Erin Kelly

JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK, AND THIS TIME HE'S WRITING HIS OWN HAPPILY EVER AFTER . . .

Joe Goldberg is ready for a change. Instead of selling books, he’s writing them. And he’s off to a good start.

Invited to join a tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard, Joe thinks he’s finally found a place where talent matters more than pedigree. Where anything is possible, even happy endings. At least until he meets his uber-privileged, already-published, already-distinguished peers.

Thankfully, Wonder enters the picture. They have so much in common: no college degrees, no pretensions, just a love for literature. They could be those rare literary soulmates who never fall prey to their demons. If only Wonder could just commit herself to the writing life.

But Joe has faith in Wonder. He will sacrifice his art for hers. And, if he must, he will kill her darlings for her.

With her trademark biting wit, Caroline Kepnes explores why vulnerable people bring out the worst in others as Joe sets out to make this small, elite world a fairer place. And if a little crimson runs in the streets of Cambridge, who can blame him? Love doesn’t conquer all. Often, it needs a little push.

another great book!

The start for me started a bit slow, but it did a complete 180, and one the pace picked up it was great!

The first three books were great, but this was not

I enjoyed the first three books and was very excited for this book after the way "You Love Me" ended, but this really dragged. By the time it got to the middle and it was narrating the Wonder's writing process and the anxious constant obsessing of Joe wanting Wonder to read his book drove me almost around the bend.

Santino Fontana's narration was what saved this from the "never going to finish" pile because Santino really made Joe come alive. There were so many great ways this series could have finished on this book, but the author just took none of those options.

I hope the TV show has a better ending.

Love these!

I have throughly enjoyed all of the You books. I watched the show on Netflix prior to reading any of the books and I loved the show too. I really enjoyed the fact that the last 2 books are quite different to what happened in the show. I hope there are more books even though the show is wrapping up after the next season. I am going to miss Santino Fontana’s deliciously soothing voice as Joe.

Second half dragged on…

The first half of this book was fast paced and kept me engaged but once (not a spoiler) the first death happened it seemed to slow to almost a halt. Found myself drifting away from the story as it wasn’t engaging and seemed to drag on.
However, Santino’s reading is fantastic and kept me from turning off the book altogether.

Different to the series

I struggled to finish this book, and I kept going only to listen to Santino Fontana.
I did not come in thinking that the book would be like the tv series, but this storyline felt never ending.

Joe’s Pick Me Girl Era

I really enjoyed the first three books but this one was just… good reads slander. The whole novel is Joe trying to get women in his life to give him praise like he deserves it when he doesn’t. He’s the male version of a pick me girl.

Also, I though Love was a bad female character name but Wonder absolutely takes the cake. It’s the worst name ever.

This book is Wonder Bread at best. Plain, white and flavourless.

Save yourself

Performance was the only positive about this book, I wish it was over faster. I was counting down the time to exit this story and I felt a massive wave of bliss when it was over.
