*I received a free copy of this novel from NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for my honest review.*
Joe Goldberg, what are you doing to me? You left your son behind and moved to the Pacific Northwest and fell in love. Again. Are you up to your old tricks? You are, but you are trying so hard to be good.
I have waited so long for the third novel. I have only watched the first season of You on Netflix and now, the book comes to me in Penn Badgley's voice and it is perfect! And I picture Penn while reading. I was immediately transported back into Joe's mind from the first chapter and I had to pace myself through the first half of the book because I didn't want to devour it in one sitting. The build up is the best part, right? I think you would agree with me on that.
I really got the feeling that Joe was trying to turn a corner, but things happen that are beyond his control and he has to react. And he only knows one way to react. And you might think that it would be the same old stories in a new city, but it really feels like a fresh take on Joe and his sociopathic nature that we have grown to love. And the twists were ones that I did not see coming even though they seem so obvious once they are out.
Please, don't make us wait so long for the fourth book! At least now we have the Netflix series to satiate ourselves!
