I’m obsessed with this series. Penn Badgley IS Joe Goldberg. I can’t picture anyone else as Joe.
Honestly, I would 100% fall for Joe

This book was okay for me. Honestly the only reason I keep going in the series is because of the audiobook narrator. I love his voice and how he animates the character of Joe Goldberg. But the series is getting a little tired. Feel like I've read the same scene so many times.

I am so pleased with this book! I was nervous to read it after the second really disappointed me, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’m hoping that this isn’t the end of Joe. I hate to say it, but especially after You Love Me, I want Joe to find love and be happy.

joe thinking he’s the irl version of luke danes PLEASEEEEEEEE



/ 1(.25?) star because they killed off love, best girl, and the ending was absolute batshit stupid and nothing more than a measly set up for a 4th novel, which will also probably be an almost exact replica of the first 3. i think this is the last of joe goldberg i’ll be reading, although i am curious to see if netflix will be able to salvage this pathetic plot in the tv show.

okay, so Joe does commit various crimes in this one but considering my guy actually didn’t murder anyone for a change, the guy really couldn’t catch a break. also, why was NO ONE in Bainbridge freaking out at this one friendship group/circle all disappearing or dying? you’ve got one AWOL, one dies of an overdose, one “hunting accident” and one in a coma and no one’s alarmed by that? where’s the conspiracy theorists?? in real life TikTokers would be all over that mess!! by the end I was actually sad for Joe, he really was on good behaviour (for him, I mean - he’s still not a good person) and arguably none of this mess was his fault. anyway, the urge to dive straight into the fourth book to find out who the hell showed up in Florida in the epilogue is strong
