You by Caroline Kepnes
4.0

I'm not 100% sure what I read but it was addicting.

You is told by Joe, a 'normal' guy working in a bookstore who becomes obsessed with a girl called Beck. Joe wants Beck to be his girlfriend so he follows her, learns all about her and proceeds to make sure that he ends up in her life and she in his. The whole story is told in second-person narrative and it really creeped me out. This story is definitely cruder than some other books I read, and, especially with the narrative, I often ended up feeling a bit slimy and grossed-out by Joe and the way he was thinking and talking.

However, the magic of this book isn't just the compelling story and the addicting narrative but the way somehow, troubled Joe becomes an object of sympathy in the reader's eyes. After a while, I felt like I was understanding Joe and I felt sorry for him when things didn't go his way. I found myself wanting things to work out for him and being mad at Beck when it didn't. Just incredible writing!
