You, by Caroline Kepnes Blurb: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.My ReviewI'll admit, I watched the Netflix adaptation of this book first, so when I decided to read the book I was a little worried it wouldn't live up to expectations. However, although there are small differences to the storyline, the show is pretty faithful to the book and I ended up loving them both. The thing that totally fascinates me about this book is that the author manages to get you to like Joe - at least for the first half of the book. He's a stalker, he's a murderer and we know this, it's no secret, however, his observations are so often true and you agree with him. It also helped that all the other characters in this book, with the exception of Ethan, are pretty unlikeable. Beck especially is a character I hated; she was so selfish and she treated everybody awfully, including Joe - of course, this doesn't mean she deserves to get stalked... This book was uncomfortable to read in parts, but I'd definitely recommend it! Being from the point of view of the stalker, it's quite unique and it's also very well written. It draws you in right from the beginning and doesn't let go until the end. My favourite quotes from 'YOU':'You envy her. How come she doesn't have the weight of ambition? You pity her. How come she has no ambition?''I didn't go to college, Beck, so I don't waste my adulthood trying to recapture my time in college.' 'The only thing crueler than a cage so small that a bird cannot fly is a cage so large that a bird thinks it can fly.''That's how privileged people think: Lie unless you know you can get away with lying.' 'I remember my dad saying nothing and I remember his silences more vividly than I remember the things he said.' 'In any case, it's an indictment of our society, this outpouring of curiosity for this liar's whereabouts. Whoever distributes love in this world is doing a bad job.' 'The world failed him and didn't prepare him for adulthood.''You grow through love. You don't postpone love until you stop growing.''It's not your fault that you were born on an island. Of course you identify as an island.' '... people have to be careful or they wind up with lives they didn't want.''... all parents do better with happy parents than married parents.'
