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 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.

I’m a big fan of the You series and was on the edge of my seat waiting for this one to come out once I learned that it was happening. This has all the classic Joe drama (lots of death but surprise! He doesn’t actually kill anyone this time) but it did drag in a few parts, and the ending was super rushed. The *twist* was just thrown in there and maybe it will play out better on the show, if they use the majority of this story for season 3. Overall, I was enthralled and wouldn’t read anything else until I finished it. I think everyone will love getting to hate Joe again, and this book shows his true colors.
