You by Caroline Kepnes

3.0

---

Another good road trip audiobook, but having already watched the show, I actually don’t think I gained much by reading the source material. This isn’t as much a critique of the show as it is a compliment to the show; I just think the Netflix adaptation was so well-done that listening to this felt like listening to an unnecessary play-by-play of the show. When I read a book after watching its adaptation, I want it to provide me with insight I couldn’t possibly have gotten on the screen, and I didn’t get that here. Definitely didn’t mind listening to Santino Fontana’s voice for 11 hours, though!

*Listened to audiobook
