For You and Only You by Caroline Kepnes

5.0

Caroline Kepnes continues her uncanny ability to make readers sympathize with the villain in "For You and Only You." Joe Goldberg, despite his narcissistic, sociopathic tendencies and a history of heinous acts, remains a character one can't help but root for. While the second and third books in the series may have felt somewhat lacking, "For You and Only You" recaptures the gripping excitement of the original "You." What sets this installment apart is Kepnes' skillful humanization of Joe, inviting readers to delve into the complexities of his character. As the narrative unfolds, a surprising sense of empathy and understanding emerges, making it impossible not to love and feel for Joe despite his dark nature. Kepnes once again masterfully blurs the lines between good and evil, creating a compelling and emotionally charged reading experience.
