YOU LOVE ME
PAPERBACK, NOW AVAILABLE AT THESE RETAILERS:
An instant New York Times bestseller
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 cozy 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 Kaye 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 Kaye will do the right thing and make room for him.
reviews
“I will read anything Caroline Kepnes writes. She’s one of the smartest, most insightful writers out there with a true gift for crafting flawed, complicated characters that force us to reckon with our own flaws and complications. Joe’s back (and so are all the reasons you love to hate him), but in You Love Me Caroline delves even deeper. She subverts our idea of who Joe is and who he can be. In so doing, she forces the reader to ask themselves, can Joe change? Can anyone ever really change?”
–Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Sun is Also a Star
“You Love Me is fiendish, fast-paced and very funny!”
–Paula Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train
“Caroline Kepnes is that peerless author who makes me laugh and glance over my shoulder on the very same page. Thank the reading Gods that Joe Goldberg is back and just as seductive, dangerous, and witty as ever.”
–Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and The Favorite Sister
“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, New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water
“Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better – and Joe Goldberg gets worse – with every book.”
–Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said
“Joe Goldberg continues his murderous spree across the United States, finding people even worse than he is, then falling in love with them or killing them. 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, author of The Thursday Murder Club
“Kepnes’ series continues to be a sly, subversive exploration of what people choose to reveal and what they hide in their relationships, and just how difficult it is to truly know another person. That Kepnes manages to limn such heady subjects in such a compulsively readable way while serving up twists aplenty is the reason the series still feels fresh three books in. With the Netflix show, You, based on Joe’s exploits and set to return for a third season, there’s never been a better time to get acquainted with Kepnes’ dangerously appealing leading man.”
–BOOKLIST (starred review)
“Kepnes’s savage takedowns of pretentious blowhards continue to make Joe a more culturally aware Dexter, or perhaps a more romantic and humorous Hannibal, as he pillories the bad taste of his rivals and victims.”
–LITERARY HUB
“Caroline Kepnes’ original magic trick was getting readers to root for the murderous Joe Goldberg; now, in You Love Me her mastery deepens in making readers love him. Filled with her signature wit, incisive social commentary, and pathos, this is Kepnes’ best yet.”
-Andrea Dunlop, author of We Came Here to Forget
