These books keep getting worse, and yet I’m unable to stop reading them. Thankfully I only have one left in the series, and then I can be done!

This one I felt was much different from the other You books in the fact that I was rooting for Joe to be actually be better. Even though, anyone who has read the book or watched the show knows he should not be redeemed. But I think that’s why I love these books so much. We know he’s a psychopath stalker turn serial killer and yet, since we read it from his point of view and in his head, sometimes it feels justified. Only slightly lol. Then you remember from the other characters point of view and you’re like oh yeah he’s in the wrong

example: all the people he runs into. It’s like I agree with Joe, everyone else is horrible. Melanda, Phil, Ivan, Shortus etc. They all has their flaws. And yet, Joe is possibly (except Shortus, which btw was a crazy twist. And he deserved what he got) the worst of them all and we forget that. Because we are in his mind, and in his mind he’s right. He’s the savior. And it’s crazy he didn’t even kill anyone in this book!! And yet, indirectly he killed them all. Insane.

I really liked this one. And I’m so excited for the next one. The only problem I had was the beginning was very slow paced to me. Took me forever to finally get through it and get intrigued enough to keep reading but it was worth it.
