You by Caroline Kepnes
4.0

I’m rather shocked by this one! In the best way... so glad to have picked it up finally and ready to jump into the followup ASAP.

In summary: bookseller Joe Goldberg meets writer/MFA candidate Guinevere Beck and immediately falls in lust with her. The proceeding story is written from Joe’s perspective addressing “you” who is Beck. He’s quick to show how much of a stalker he is. Although clearly some kind of sociopath, Joe and his, shall we say, antics, are so engaging it was hard to put it down and re-enter normal life.
