You Love Me by Caroline Kepnes

First I want to thank this book for getting me out of the longest reading slump of my life. Second, it was nice to read this after seeing the Netflix show and having that thought that the book was better. In my opinion, the book was better, however Joe is continually trying to play the victim. How many times can we see this as happenstance when the actions Joe takes set everything into motion?

I’m obsessed with this series. Penn Badgley IS Joe Goldberg. I can’t picture anyone else as Joe.
Honestly, I would 100% fall for Joe

This book was okay for me. Honestly the only reason I keep going in the series is because of the audiobook narrator. I love his voice and how he animates the character of Joe Goldberg. But the series is getting a little tired. Feel like I've read the same scene so many times.

I am so pleased with this book! I was nervous to read it after the second really disappointed me, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m hoping that this isn’t the end of Joe. I hate to say it, but especially after You Love Me, I want Joe to find love and be happy.

joe thinking he’s the irl version of luke danes PLEASEEEEEEEE



/ 1(.25?) star because they killed off love, best girl, and the ending was absolute batshit stupid and nothing more than a measly set up for a 4th novel, which will also probably be an almost exact replica of the first 3. i think this is the last of joe goldberg i’ll be reading, although i am curious to see if netflix will be able to salvage this pathetic plot in the tv show.
