Honestly, the plot in this book makes no sense to Joe's character. Explanation: This girl he loves screws him over and runs away and he goes after her across the country to kill her, and then before he manages to follow through, he falls in love with another girl along the way and completely forgets why he's there in the first place? And then he finds out he's going to be a dad and he's suddenly changed for the better?
Most of the book feels like filler and it drags, and the ending absolutely pissed me off also. Don't get me wrong, it was interesting, but Joe's character just ends up not making a lot of sense.

Honestly, just watch the series instead. They had to add so much plot and character development in the series, not to mention depth to the female characters and just any representation of non-white characters... It's not even funny. Also (still) bothered by the misogynistic voice of the narrator, I really don't like internalizing this toxic stuff by reading it. Having seen the second season of YOU, I powered through in hopes of getting to any kind of interesting turning point, but I ended up very disappointed.
