You / Caroline Kepnes


Kepnes, Caroline. You. New York : Atria / Emily Bestler Books, 2014.

Told from the second person,
You is a book you can't miss.
Perhaps most well-known for its Netflix adaptation of the same name comes You, a twisted story of a jealous, possessive stalker obsessed with ‘you’ – a girl named Beck who just so happened to enter his bookstore.

Having just started at a local university and aspiring to be a writer, Beck bonds with bookstore owner Joe Goldberg over literature and all things books. What she wasn’t expecting was to walk away with more than just a new tome – she also became the object of Joe’s obsession. He goes to great lengths to stalk her, from hacking her social media accounts to her emails. And for Beck, who’s little more than a deer in the headlights, she unknowingly walks straight into his trap.

What happens when Joe’s obsession spirals out of control? Will Beck realise who – what – Joe is before it’s too late?

Told from the second person, You is a disturbing tale of a stalker who knows no limits. Read the book before watching the series, or head straight for the show and come back to the original – there’s no rules, least of all when Joe Goldberg is involved.
