In the compulsively readable sequel to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You, Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklistcalls “the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman.”
Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Now he’s heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him.
In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other young upstarts. He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a journalist neighbor. But while others seem fixated on their own reflections, Joe can’t stop looking over his shoulder. The problem with hidden bodies is that they don’t always stay that way. They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: true love. And when he finds it in a darkened room in Soho House, he’s more desperate than ever to keep his secrets buried. He doesn’t want to hurt his new girlfriend—he wants to be with her forever. But if she ever finds out what he’s done, he may not have a choice…
MAN OH MAN. This series.
I fully recommend the audios. I don’t usually do that. Santino Fontana does such a good job embodying Joe and just his… creepiness. The audios of both You and Hidden Bodies gave me chills.
This is a continuation of You. Joe has found someone he believes he is in love with. They are going to spend their lives together. Of course, things go wrong.
The majority of the book takes place in LA instead of New York. It was a nice change of scenery. The story was just as creepy, if not creepier, than You.
I remember about 5 chapters in texting my friend about the first twist. It took me by complete surprise. The rest of the book just kept me guessing.
There will be a book three. The release date hasn’t been announced. The title hasn’t been announced. But I NEED IT NOW.
Until next time…
