You Love Me

Didn't realize it was book three

This series is running entirely on plot contrivance and unearned plot twists that don't respect the reader but are sure to make BookTok go wild at this point.

This is one of my most anticipated releases of 2021 and thank you so much to both Netgalley and Random House for the gift advance copy of You Love Me. I also want to say I am truly sorry for the delay of this review. This lateness is no reflection on how good or bad this book is. I have just had a few months where I haven't wanted to do anything but read sleep repeat.

I first off want to say I am a major fan of Joe Goldberg and the YOU series. I love the character that is Joe. (don't judge me I know he is nuts.) there is just something so captivating in the way this author describes this crazy man and the women that come across him.

I read You and Hidden Bodies  again to prepare myself for book three and I am really glad I did. Once the story finishes in Hidden Bodies, I am instantly wanting to know how Joe and Love's story continues. This book takes you in a completely different direction than what's expected, and I think I really enjoyed that the most. I wasn't expecting Joe to fall for someone else and I certainly wasn't expecting that person to be in the predicament she was in.

Although the fact that this other person loves books is a complete added plus to this read. I will say I missed a bit of Joe in this book considering that I felt like this book was very tame in who he was in book one and two. That being said will people die in this book? Will we get a crazy obsessive Joe? Yes and kind of. There are parts you will find that the old Joe shines and it is great and there are parts where he tries to be tame and normal and it is just weird. I know this review is a bit tame and lacks detail but it is truly something you should experience on your own if you are a fan of the series. I will give it three stars because it was good but I can't go any higher then that because I just needed a bit more crazy Joe and a little less attempt at normal. Will I continue the series if it continues? Yes, I would I would even love to see a different series from her. I will say that if you haven't read the first two books start there. They are worth it.

the You series is seriously addicting, I cant believes its been years since I read the first 2 books

this was miles better than hidden bodies, i think joe goldberg has officially made a comeback

Yet another addictive instalment in the You series.

Joe Goldberg is more vulnerable in this one yet just as creepy.

The plot twists keep coming and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

And the ending! Oh my.

Bring on the next book!

Two things:

There is a splendid in-joke in this novel, a Lemonheads song (and album title) that the author didn't explicitly use:

“It's a Shame About Ray”. (Quinn)
I think I am going to go listen to it now. That album was the soundtrack to my grad school days.

And two: I really don't like Mary Kay.

Vaya chasco de libro, aunque me lo esperaba desde el final del 2 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
