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

Enough Joe stories now

It's a shame because the first book was so good! and the second was good. But this one? nothing really happens! It's a very long winded story that should have been told in half the time. I did enjoy the fact that Joe doesn't actually kill anyone in this book though.

I do hope there is not a 4th book...

Netflix have totally changed this wonderful story

Best narrator of an audible novel so far. The voice fits the character.
Well paced.
Wish Netflix hadn’t changed the story so completely to sensationalise it.
This story is much kinder, more in pace with the ‘love’ we grow to feel for Joe.

I just wish the puzzle of Milanders (?) death was revealed! Did she kill herself? Did Oliver kill her? Is she truly dead?? Why would Nomi say she had heard from her?

3,5⭐️

OK so, the storyline in this one was actually pretty boring. There wasn't really anything special that stood out to me until the last 4 ish hours of listening. Love mking an appearance was very needed or I would've probably DNF this book.
I think the reason I didn't enjoy this one as much as the other two is because the first two were a lot more intense, and this was just slow.

Give the award to both of them!

Oh I love Caroline Kepnes and Santino Fontana. No one could write Joe better and no one could perform him better either. I did not want to start this book, the latest in the You series, as I knew that with every beginning there must be an end and I couldn't bear the thought of finishing it. Once I gave in, though, I devoured it. Fabulous characters, flawed, funny and frightening; a twisting, tenacious plot; laugh out loud soundbites from our antihero; a brilliant 'spot the musical reference' theme; so many literary references, meaning my future reading list has increased exponentially. This was soooo good. And Santino...give that man an award for the best narration of an audiobook ever.
