ericarobyn 's review for:

You by Caroline Kepnes

Reading everyones review of this book, I thought I was going to LOVE it. But it happened... I finally STOPPED reading a book that I really disliked. This is the first book I've ever started that I didn't push through to finish. I'm not sure if it's because how many sad and negative news stories there are this week, but I just couldn't handle this book...Just reading the very first page, I thought, "This isn't going to be a book I like." But I kept reading to see if it grew on me. I got to page 83 and then had to bail.

Why I had to stop reading:

1) The main character of this story was too much of a creep. He was obsessed with someone that he had talked to for less than 2 minutes....and he stalked her. The story is written as if he is talking to her.

2) SO MUCH SWEARING & VULGARITY. I thought this was borderline erotica. Not my thing.

3) The style. Such. Short. Sentences.
