The book was narrated in Joe’s POV, like the rest of Kepnes’s novel and she AGAIN does an excellent job of making me get the creepy crawlies, making me laugh when I shouldn’t want to, making me root for joe when I shouldn’t want to, and making me keep turning the page until I’m done!
I am already dying for another book in the series, will there be another book?! Please tell me there will be 😭
I’m also eagerly awaiting season 3 of the Netflix show so there’s that...

Oh, Joe, Joe, Joe. What will we do with you? Another book, another woman in your life. Joe is just so fascinating to read about. In some ways, this book was predictable. It was Joe up to his usual antics, but add in the fallout of the second book and then the leftovers from book one. So, it was a fun read for me. I'd pick it up after my shift and read for a bit before going to sleep. And I really enjoyed it! The dynamics were different in this and some new elements were added in, but it felt like slipping back into a familiar world.
I still have a few extra things to say. For one, I really hope that this book was because Caroline wanted to write it rather than it being about the show... since the third season has been announced and, well, it'll be based on this book. Second, I hope that she doesn't keep pumping out these books and ends them at some point because I think there's only so much more she can do with Joe. That's my more constructive feedback because I enjoy these books, but I don't want to get tired and annoyed by too many coming out and her not letting go of Joe.
