What a sick and twisted book😱 The narration was chef’s kiss, god, so funny💕 Even if he didn’t kill anyone in this book, his demented mind wanted to do something wrong. Oh god, Nomi, I know you’re a victim, but her “confrontation” with Joe at the latter part of the story made me uncomfortable. 😔 Mary Kaye, you seemed fun and daring. Even if the whole town judged you hard, you rose and tried to be happy again. The story is, as always, so problematic; the Love scenes, goodness gracious. The writing style was so gripping and exciting. And oh my god, the narrator in the audiobook companion was top notch💕

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.

A bit repetitive of the previous two books, I still did enjoy Joe’s latest adventures - especially as we entered its final pages. I have to say it got a little too unbelievable towards the end and wrapped up a little quickly, but the characters are ever so compelling and the circumstances intriguing.
