You by Caroline Kepnes

4.0

I usually reserve 4 and 5 star ratings for books that move me or fill me with joy. This is the second book I have read this year (the other being All the Ugly and Wonderful Things) that has disturbed me and left my soul tainted for days after finishing it. The narrator, Joe, is clearly the bad guy here but I found myself agreeing with him on all his rants about compulsive Tweeting, selfies and all the self-centeredness of our society. Beck may've been beautiful on the outside, but ten minutes with this girl I would've skipped the effort of stalking her and went straight to the strangling. It's a wonder there aren't more serial killers/stalkers in the world. I enjoyed this even though it made my skin crawl. Or maybe because it did.....?
