Publisher Description
‘Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better – and Joe Goldberg gets worse – with every book’ ERIN KELLY
'Caroline Kepnes writes with such malevolent energy, such dark grace and such ink-black humour. An utterly unique character and an utterly unique writer, in a marriage made somewhere between heaven and hell’ RICHARD OSMAN
'Fiendish, fast-paced, and very funny' PAULA HAWKINS
'Another dark, thrilling, and blackly hilarious adventure from everyone's favourite murderer' CLAIRE MCGOWAN
'I absolutely loved it. It’s completely addictive, razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most darkly humorous. Joe’s back, and this time it’s definitely real love' CATHERINE STEADMAN
‘Caroline Kepnes must be some kind of storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg — stalker, creep, multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a “long overdue book, the one you never thought was coming” — be such an entertaining narrator? Even Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmith’s famously amoral character (a clear inspiration for Kepnes), could be enjoyed at a third-person remove, unlike the in-your-face immediacy of Joe’s blinkered perspective . . . brilliant’ New York Times
JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK. AND HE'S GOING TO START A FAMILY – EVEN IF IT KILLS HIM . . .
Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cosy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe.
He gets a job at the local library – he does know a thing or two about books – and that's where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't meddle, he will not obsess. He'll win her the old fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they'll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town.
The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy.
True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right thing and make room for him.

Wave your hands to the cameras, Joe - you should hope reality doesn’t bite you first.
There is no doubt that «You love me» stands out from the other You-books that’s written so far. Also, This is definitely the saddest and darkest book in the series.
In «You love me» Kepnes has captured the fragile essence of sad, lonely human destinies. She has miraculously manage to give Joe Goldberg, the sicko pervert stalker-dude, a sympathetic side. As a reader, you actually sometimes feel sorry for him. But you also cheer a little on Joe while being cringed out by him.
But what really sets this third book in the series apart from the first two books is how Kepnes has managed to bring out that the other people in Joe Goldbergs life are actually not that different from him. People are lonely. Feeling trapped in their lives. People are lying. People are selfish. Resentlful, Self-centered. They take what they want. People are self-destructive. Mean. Some are even worse than Joe.
«… Stephen King is the Master of Darkness but I am the master of your darkness.»
Joe Goldberg tends to ruin all relationships of the person he is obsessed with. He sabotages all relationships that could threaten his position to his chosen ones. He has a disturbing influence on all people around him, and pushes them to their limits.
But what if he hurt the wrong person? What if the one he provokes is worse than him? Even more dangerous? Miserable?
Joe Goldberg likes to play with fire. He has forgot that there are people with more inner demons than him. But he should know better than to step on the wrong person's heart. Joe hasn’t thought about the idea that he can also be burned.
It turns out that it's not just Joe who’s able to destroying lives to save himself.
