Reviews

[Evan McGuffey · Rating 5 out of 5]

The YOU series is a morbidly beautiful tale of love, change, and murder. Yes it's terrible that the main character is the killer and how he makes very awful decisions. Yet the author wants its reader to hope for the best for Joe which is quite twisted. Many already know the stories as for the show, but it heavily deviates from it after season 2. Joe Goldberg was originally a possible 2 dimensional character until the second book, where he slowly developed into a bigger main character, one that changes. At first he changes the way he gets rid of people trying to ruin his relationships, but eventually realizes that killing isn't always the answer. That violence alone wont go in his favor. Take the story between him and Love Quinn. In the book, it ends tragically where she ends up dying but not at the hands of joe- but to herself. This was caused by all because of their relationship from the past. This is when Joe learns that he must change, for the better. The tragic elements in the series cause Joe to change, as Joe is a pretty tragic character himself. Originally a near-narcissist who finds love and eventually realizes he will never love the same after the first book. That he was getting too obsessed in his relationships in the second book. How he must change for the better in the third book but fails to do so because of an event he wasn't prepared for. How he finally changed in the fourth, at the cost of losing everything yet again, leaving behind a string of dead past lovers that died all because Joe couldn't handle the fact he was losing them. How he decides not to kill his ex in the last book and goes on a retreat. This story shows us how all the main character desires is to be loved, to love someone, only to find out he can't do so. This shows us how love can change someone, how it can be ugly. How it can be tragic and toxic. It shows that obsessions and love can play hand in hand and how they don't. These tales show what desperate measures a human being can take all for the sake of wanting to love someone and to feel loved. In a way, these tales are almost cautionary, to show that love isn't always what we think of it to be. How it can even be unhealthy and evil, yet still somehow be considered love.

I finished the first book after watching the Netflix series. I enjoy a good thriller, but this was a little too twisted even for me. I won’t be continuing the series. If you have experienced any type of domestic abuse, this may not be the series for you.

Great writing style and interesting plot twists

[Josette · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really wanted to hate this. I really didn’t want to love Joe. Not gonna lie, I’ve spent a few therapy sessions trying to get comfortable with five stars. Just read it.
