Hot mess freaking express!! I love these books. Are they “repetitive”? Of course. He’s a SERIAL killer. Some people call the stream of consciousness point of view annoying, I personally like it. Let’s call it “poetic”. I always loved this series for the little Easter eggs and word play. Being in Joe’s brain is so facinating and poor guy he really did try and reform this time.

Liked the first two books better, this felt a little more all over the place plot wise. Random unsettling ending that I wish was different. Still enjoy the series and will read the next one. Darker than the show for sure!

This is the third book of the YOU series. Although I didn’t love it as much as I did the first two I still enjoyed it and the twists at the end. Joe Goldberg came back soft he is not the murderous man it was in the first two he got out of jail and took a new outlook on his life. I’m upset since I’ve been told this book doesn’t match up much to the newest season on Netflix which I knew from the beginning because the trailers all showed Love and Love wasn’t in the book until the very end which kind of made it a slight disappointment for me but that’s my fault for seeing the Netflix trailers.
