I can only talk about my comparisons this book with two previous ones by telling you: THIS IS SO FAR THE BEST BOOK OF THE SERIES!
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, even fans of the series. Just watch the show or read the first two books on audio. When Mary Kay finally drops by to see Joe again, she explains to Joe that she thinks Joe preyed on her when she was weak and she breaks things off with him.Manni was 2,000 miles away in Andalucia, Spain, where he runs a bespoke travel company, when he received the text message that challenged him to act upon the depth of his love.
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.Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better – and Joe Goldberg gets worse – with every book’ Erin Kelly a b Kinane, Ruth (May 10, 2019). " 'You' book series expanding with two more novels from author Caroline Kepnes". Entertainment Weekly. Archived from the original on May 10, 2019 . Retrieved May 10, 2019. Seamus Cooley is an old high school friend of Mary Kay’s who owns a hardware store that he inherited from his parents. He’s short and middle aged. He likes to chase younger woman, but is often heartbroken about one 22-year-old girl or another. He’s also a big library donor. Joe tells himself that he won’t hurt Seamus. Later, when Mary Kay and her “bestie”, Melanda, have a girl’s/”women’s” night, Joe is tempted to crash it. But he resists, telling himself that the “good guy” move is to give her some space. Melanda is an English teacher who is also setting up an incubator for young women, set to launch early next year. To continue the "nothing happens" review aspect, I'm serious when I say nothing big happens. He does his usual stalking, he has to deal with Melanda, MK's best friend (A psycho friend? Hasn't that been done before?), and he tries to break up MK and her husband. One of Reuben Coe’s drawings, based on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which feature in his new book.

I didn’t love it but I definitely didn’t hate it. I found it a bit slow at times and some of the repetitiveness got to me. (Murakami, Beef & Broccoli, and Red Bed to name a few). I do wonder if I had read it instead of listening to it, if that would have made a difference. Joe text Mary Kay from Melanda’s phone and pretends to run into her at the salon where Mary Kay says she’s going. Joe pushes her to get a drink with him. Mary Kay says that there’s something “off” about Melanda suddenly planning on leaving town. When Joe tries to convince her to get something to eat too, Mary Kay finally admits that she’s married. She says she has no intention of leaving her husband or cheating on him. She apologizes for leading him on, but says that she has a family. But she also says she never imagined she’d meet someone like Joe. Kepnes’ series continues to be a sly, subversive exploration of what people choose to reveal and what they hide in their relationships, and just how difficult it is to truly know another person. That Kepnes manages to limn such heady subjects in such a compulsively readable way while serving up twists aplenty is the reason the series still feels fresh three books in. With the Netflix show, You, based on Joe’s exploits and set to return for a third season, there’s never been a better time to get acquainted with Kepnes’ dangerously appealing leading man.” –BOOKLIST (starred review) You Love Me” is the third novel in the obsessively addicting series, “You” (now a Netflix series starring Penn Badgley) . The good thing about this series is each novel is just as addicting as its predecessor yet, at the same time, you don’t need to read the other novels to be able to follow along (although I highly recommend it!) . At the wedding, Nomi dances with Joe and puts her fingers in his hair, but he pulls away. He recognizes that something is off. Afterwards, Joe recognizes that Nomi is clearly struggling with confused feelings about the father figures in her life (i.e. “daddy issues”), and that he needs to stay away from her and avoids being alone with her.
Where You Should Read It
It was as if he had reached across the river to me with this SOS. He may have been crumbling, but it showed that he knew what he was doing.” Were all the books like this one? If so, my taste has definitely changed over the years, because Joe's constant, rambling stream-of-consciousness drove me batty. I don't remember the internal dialogue being quite so dense in the earlier works as it was in this latest offering from Caroline Kepnes. I also don't remember Joe being so, well... annoying. Ms.Kepnes achieved something impossible. She made us empathize with a very dangerous, disturbed man. Yes, he killed, he stalked, he destroyed, he lied. But we still witness his never ending inner fight, facing his demons and we cannot hate him. Actually we start to like him. It’s dangerous line to root for a very disturbed man who can put you on fire and destroy lives to save himself but at each book we cross our fingers and whispering our prays for him to get rid of those complex situations he created at first hand by obsessing troubled women. And interestingly we want to see him settle, burying his past demons. But he’s trouble magnet: even though he changes himself and bring out his goodness by beating his inner vicious monster, the people around him never let him move on with his life. There will be always loss and casualties... Cut off from everyone and everything he loved, Reuben began to withdraw into himself until the day he sent Manni an anguished text message. It read, simply: “brother. do. you. love. me.” He was a broken man, shut down; he didn’t want to communicate and couldn’t look me in the eye. We weren’t allowed to touch and we had to wear masks.
