Book Joe is much creepier and more deranged than series Joe. Book Joe is intense, I had to read it in sections and take breaks. But it was worth it. At the end, I ended up disliking everyone.

Fast paced, compelling and super creepy. This book was almost uncomfortable to read, but it was so good.  The narrative really fit the story and I think I'll be reading the rest of the series.
Both MCs were maddening and super toxic...i honestly think the only character I liked in this book was Karen. It's also a really interesting commentary on privilege and 'keeping up with the Joneses' Joe is completely delusional and deserves a lot more than he got served in this book.
