About this listen

'Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better - and Joe Goldberg gets worse - with every book' ERIN KELLY

Joe Goldberg is back. And he's going to start a family even if it kills him . . .

Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cosy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe.

He gets a job at the local library – he does know a thing or two about books – and that's where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't meddle, he will not obsess. He'll win her the old fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they'll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town.

The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy.

True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right thing and make room for him.

Critic reviews

‘The latest in the thriller series behind Netflix stalker blockbuster You Guardian

‘Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better – and Joe Goldberg gets worse – with every book’ Erin Kelly

‘Caroline Kepnes writes with such malevolent energy, such dark grace and such ink-black humour. An utterly unique character and an utterly unique writer, in a marriage made somewhere between heaven and hell’ Richard Osman

‘Fiendish, fast-paced and very funny’ Paula Hawkins

‘Another dark, thrilling and blackly hilarious adventure from everyone’s favourite murderer’ Claire McGowan

‘I absolutely loved it. It’s completely addictive, razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most darkly humorous. Joe’s back, and this time it’s definitely real love’ Catherine Steadman

‘Caroline Kepnes must be some kind of storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg — stalker, creep, multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a “long overdue book, the one you never thought was coming” — be such an entertaining narrator? . . . brilliant’ New York Times

‘The highly anticipated new thriller from the author of the hit You series – we couldn’t put it down’ Closer

‘Of course, it’s never easy with Joe, who instantly finds a connection with librarian Mary Kay DiMarco – and we all know what that means . . . We can’t wait to see where he ends up next’ Metro

‘One of the smartest, most insightful writers out there with a true gift for crafting flawed, complicated characters that force us to reckon with our own flaws and complications. Joe’s back (and so are all the reasons you love to hate him)’ Nicola Yoon

‘Caroline Kepnes is that peerless author who makes me laugh and glance over my shoulder on the very same page. Thank the reading gods that Joe Goldberg is back and just as seductive, dangerous and witty as ever’ Jessica Knoll

‘Caroline Kepnes’s original magic trick was getting readers to root for the murderous Joe Goldberg; now, in You Love Me, her mastery deepens in making readers love him. Filled with her signature wit, incisive social commentary and pathos, this is Kepnes’s best yet’ Andrea Dunlop

‘A strange delight . . . Series fans will eat this up’ Publishers Weekly

‘Compulsively readable . . . There's never been a better time to get acquainted with Kepnes’s dangerously appealing leading man’ Booklist

‘Kepnes’s savage takedowns of pretentious blowhards continue to make Joe a more culturally aware Dexter, or perhaps a more romantic and humorous Hannibal, as he pillories the bad taste of his rivals and victims’ LitHub

brilliantly written, read beautifully. completely different from the TV show and still equally as good.

Mandering, non-sensical storyline. Beyond plausible. Very disappointing.
Narration good as usual.
Wonder what Netflix will do with this load of rubbish.

Terrible story

Full of twists and great plots and funny at the same time. Narrator is excellent!

Never ending twists

Honestly I felt the last two were better. Joe seems to have had his wings clipped, this story was more introspection than action - although this wasn’t a bad thing. He’s (seemingly) grown and become more self aware.

Unfortunately the plot was mainly internal musings and a couple of people come and go. The last ‘act’ didn’t come together as smoothly as previous books.

Leaves the door open, I’m assuming that this is so Netflix can continue.

What could have been a good trilogy is undone a little by this book. Wish he had some closure or resolution.

Ok.

I really enjoyed YOU the first audio book. This was a bit disappointing, the narration is the best bit about it, it makes a rather tedious listen way more entertaining.

A bit predictable but narration is fab
