Publisher's Summary

'Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better - and Joe Goldberg gets worse - with every book' ERIN KELLY

Joe Goldberg is back. And he's going to start a family even if it kills him . . .

Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cosy 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.

'An utterly unique character and an utterly unique writer, in a marriage made somewhere between heaven and hell' RICHARD OSMAN

Critic Reviews

‘The latest in the thriller series behind Netflix stalker blockbuster You Guardian

‘Fiendish, fast-paced and very funny’ Paula Hawkins

‘Another dark, thrilling and blackly hilarious adventure from everyone’s favourite murderer’ Claire McGowan

‘I absolutely loved it. It’s completely addictive, razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most darkly humorous. Joe’s back, and this time it’s definitely real love’ Catherine Steadman

‘Caroline Kepnes must be some kind of storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg — stalker, creep, multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a “long overdue book, the one you never thought was coming” — be such an entertaining narrator? . . . brilliant’ New York Times

‘The highly anticipated new thriller from the author of the hit You series – we couldn’t put it down’ Closer

‘Of course, it’s never easy with Joe, who instantly finds a connection with librarian Mary Kay DiMarco – and we all know what that means . . . We can’t wait to see where he ends up next’ Metro

‘One of the smartest, most insightful writers out there with a true gift for crafting flawed, complicated characters that force us to reckon with our own flaws and complications. Joe’s back (and so are all the reasons you love to hate him)’ Nicola Yoon

‘Caroline Kepnes is that peerless author who makes me laugh and glance over my shoulder on the very same page. Thank the reading gods that Joe Goldberg is back and just as seductive, dangerous and witty as ever’ Jessica Knoll

‘Caroline Kepnes’s original magic trick was getting readers to root for the murderous Joe Goldberg; now, in You Love Me, her mastery deepens in making readers love him. Filled with her signature wit, incisive social commentary and pathos, this is Kepnes’s best yet’ Andrea Dunlop

‘A strange delight . . . Series fans will eat this up’ Publishers Weekly

‘Compulsively readable . . . There's never been a better time to get acquainted with Kepnes’s dangerously appealing leading man’ Booklist

‘Kepnes’s savage takedowns of pretentious blowhards continue to make Joe a more culturally aware Dexter, or perhaps a more romantic and humorous Hannibal, as he pillories the bad taste of his rivals and victims’ LitHub

Predictable and tired

Santino is an incredible narrator but this story just dragged on. I found it predictable and drawn out. Much less thrilling than the first two.

Not the best

Not as good as the first two books. Too much swearing. Joe wasn't likeable at all in comparison to the first two books.

Amazing read (or listen?)

This is the 3rd book in this series I have listened to through audible and it was amazing as always!

Santino Fontana does an amazing job portraying his character, and I am so pleased that he read all 3 books.

This book is something else, and for sure worth purchasing.

What a wild ride!

There were a lot of twists and turns in the last part of the book that I never saw coming. I do feel a lot of the last few chapters were unnecessary to close up a lot of loose ends.

Overall I do like this book better than the 3rd season of the show. This book has grey character development and a rich storyline.

Narrator captures the characters

The narrator really made the story, he did the character Joe so well and picked up his narcissistic way of talking. He of course did the voices of the other characters really well, just by the tone of his voice he really captured the personalities of the characters in a way, it made for a really enjoyable first time listening to an audio book.

Not bad; not great. Awesome narration though

Santino Fontana is such a great narrator. He brings the story so much energy. I thought the book started off good, had an interesting middle but fell off in the end. Joe is an anti hero but man...the lack of redeemable characters in this story is depressing.
