Catherine asked Caroline Kepnes:

Hi Caroline! I absolutely loved "YOU". Joe is such a complicated character - I wanted to be appalled at his murderous actions but I couldn't help but think, man, "suchandsuchcharacter kind of deserved it". Is that terrible of me? Anyway, my question is whether the "YOU" books are a trilogy or just the two. I can't wait for "Hidden Bodies"!
