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.

Is this the least cringe Joe Goldberg has ever been? Maybe it only seems that way because he's not saying pussy in every other sentence during his monologues anymore.

The best of the You books so far. Kepnes has a fascinating voice and filters it through creepy Joe like a Pro.
