A review by _chelseachelsea
You Love Me by Caroline Kepnes

dark funny tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.75

Not the BEST in the Joe series, and certainly about 50 pages too long, but Kepnes is as sharp and darkly charming as ever.

SPOILERS

I would have liked this book to pick back up with Joe and Love together - her crazy and jealous, him crazy and jealous - it could’ve been great. But instead we get... pretty much the first book but with crazier side characters, a more mature Joe, and a less self-centered You. The convenience of these roadblocks being cleared was a bit much, and the ending takes sort of a bizarre turn, but I can’t deny it was entertaining.
