You (Media Tie-In) | Caroline Kepnes
Soon to be a Lifetime drama series "Hypnotic and scary." --Stephen King "I am RIVETED, AGHAST, AROUSED, you name it. The rare instance when prose and plot are equally delicious." --Lena Dunham From debut author Caroline Kepnes comes You, one of Suspense Magazine's Best Books of 2014, and a brilliant and terrifying novel for the social media age. When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card. There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she'll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight--the perfect place for a "chance" meeting. As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck's life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck's perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way--even if it means murder. A terrifying exploration of how vulnerable we all are to stalking and manipulation, debut author Caroline Kepnes delivers a razor-sharp novel for our hyper-connected digital age. You is a compulsively readable page-turner that's being compared to Gone Girl, American Psycho, and Stephen King's Misery.

5 ⭐️. Adored the tv series and the book is great. Joe is a perfect villain! You almost can‘t help but root for him. Fast-paced read.

Wow. I doubt I‘ll be able to read the others. How do you top something so manipulative and maniacal!? Joe is such a great antihero (is that what he is in this book?) that the story kept me going. Once he started digging, I had to see what happened. Even when the inevitable happens. 5⭐️

I‘m sharing a book series that I read the first 2 books from but I‘m not sure if I want to continue with it or not. I own the first 2 books and I liked them when I read them. If I decide to continue with the series, I‘ll have to reread the first 2 books. If not then I‘ll probably unhaul the first 2 books. I don‘t see any point in keeping them on my shelf if I‘m not going to continue with the series.

I saw the TV show before reading the book and that might have soiled some of the effect of shock for me. I can obviously see the technique that was present to ease the reader into the mind of a psychotic stalker, and I believe it would have been very effective had it not already been spoiled for me via the show. I did spoil myself however, and it felt too familiar and predictable to me. My own fault of course, but still a good read. 3.5/5 ⭐️s

It took me a little bit longer to get through my last book than I had thought. My job has been pretty hectic and I haven‘t gotten as much free reading time. However, I‘m so excited to start my next one! This book has been long overdue on my TBR, and my best friend has been hounding me for a couple years to get this one checked off. I‘ve heard so much hype also in part due to the Netflix show, so let‘s see how it goes!

Yuck. So disturbing. Rarely do I think this, but the Netflix series is far superior in its writing.

DogMomIrene Interesting. I haven‘t watched the series. I was waiting to read the book. May rethink that one🤔 2y

Mehso-so

A crazy ride: it's scary to think how someone can utilize today's technology to infiltrate and submerse themselves into your life so easily. How, when living in a larger city, some people can cease to exist when hidden amongst others. Kepnes was so good at balancing the dark side of Joe with the unlikable actions of Beck; the logic behind Joe's actions mixed with the lies told by Beck.

#Trappedonanisland September edition @Laughterhp thank you for your picks this month! I chose these two and listened on audiobook. To be honest I am still in the middle (this month got very busy) but I plan on finishing up in October. “You” is similar to the show which I loved and I always like JD Robb so I am enjoying both picks. @aperfectmjk

I read the book/ebook when I could and listened to the audiobook during other times. Oh. My. Gosh! It was an incredible read. I did watch the series when it first came out, but the book is so much better!

Caroline Kepnes, you brilliant scamp, I‘m disturbed by your ability to write a book in which I don‘t like any of the characters and yet I can‘t stop reading. Brilliant.

I know this has become a popular show on Netflix, but I‘m bailing. I‘ve listened for 2 1/2 hours out of 11. Very slow moving and I don‘t need this crazy, stalker (I know, redundant) in my head. I hope others can find enjoyment in the book , but it is “no go” for me.

I was so excited to read this book. I loved the Netflix series and decided to read the novel before starting season 3.
I'm sad to say that after reading this book, I stopped watching the show. If you have watched the show and felt it was harsh or crude at times; the book is much harsher.
I didn't like the language used. I disliked all of the characters. Do not buy a book, just because you like the show it's based on.

Wow defo better then the Netflix series Good read as I did cheat read some of it by listening to it on borrow box and reading the book as I listened

KT1432 That‘s good to know! I have been enjoying the Netflix series (just started watching season 1 around the holidays and now I‘m on season 3), but I almost always think the book is better. I‘ll probably read the series this year! 3y
Bookworm04 Yes plz do it worth it. I already 1/4 way through book 2 of it defiantly darker and detailed in the books and audio (edited) 3y
