Publisher Description

NOW A HIT NETFLIX SERIES
A NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

“Hypnotic and scary.” —Stephen King

“I am riveted, aghast, aroused, you name it. The rare instance when prose and plot are equally delicious.” —Lena Dunham

From debut author Caroline Kepnes comes You, one of Suspense Magazine’s Best Books of the Year, and a brilliant and terrifying novel for the social media age.

When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.

There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she’ll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a “chance” meeting.

As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck’s life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck’s perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.

A terrifying exploration of how vulnerable we all are to stalking and manipulation, debut author Caroline Kepnes delivers a razor-sharp novel for our hyper-connected digital age. You is a compulsively readable page-turner that’s being compared to Gone Girl, American Psycho, and Stephen King’s Misery.

You have got to read this!

What an unusual book! This is not at all what I was expecting and not your typical "stalker" book. That being said, I really liked it! If you enjoy books about people who are completely dysfunctional (to say the least), then this book is for you! It was very fast paced and hard to put down. The writing was unique, clever and, at times, quite funny. This novel put a very creative, disturbing twist on your usual "stalker" story. I am very impressed and will most definitely be looking out for more books by Caroline Kepnes in the future.

I received this ARC courtesy of NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.

Unsettling, in a good way

The fact that the narration of the book is coming from a complete creep, stalker & potential sociopath, is what has me coming back for more. The Character is Charming but also terrifying. Very excited this book got picked up for a Netflix adaptation and can not wait to watch that.
