Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the advanced reader's copy of this publication.

A YOU fan! Thank you for continuing the story.

Great writing and pulled me back into the world of Joe Goldberg. This book reminded me of the original story.

I’ve been a fan of her “You” series from the very beginning and this does not disappoint! Putting Joe in a position where he has to be judged by others is the best… and coming from a writers workshop myself I can attest that it is quite the experience (though I enjoyed it a lot more than him). She’s the best.

4.5 stars!!!

This is my second favorite book in this series, though I might be bias because it's set in my hometown of Boston. Joe continues to be Joe showing everyone that you can like unlikable characters and how easy it is to root for someone who has questionable morals. I love morally gray characters, and I love them even more when I can see their motives behind things and Caroline Kepnes does that best. Another great book about the lengths someone who is truly awful will go for someone he loves.

I'll admit that I'm king of losing steam with these books by this point, but I continue picking them up every time a new one releases anyway. In this case, I'm super glad I did - this one was excellent, and made me remember why I love this series to begin with.

HOLY COW THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! You is one of my favorite shows on Netflix so of course I had to read the books by the fabulous Caroline Kepnes!!! This book kept me on my toes and made me want more! The plot twist was so good and I wasn't;t expecting it at all!

This was a total disappointment and I hope this is where Joe’s story ends. There was truly nothing redeeming about this installment in the series and the show did it better, even if it was more far fetched.

The most recent Joe Goldberg saga can only be described as… arduous. I felt this book was too long, trying too hard to extend the magic of You long past its natural end. I never connected to any of the characters and found the Sarah Beth side plot both distracting and annoying. I wanted to root for Wonder but she felt very one dimensional to me. This is probably where I jump off the Joe Goldberg train.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. At this point, the story isn't very original and yet I eat it up anyway. This one took a second to get into as Joe's narration threw me off but once I settled back into his head and the way Kepnes writes him, I flew through the pages. The last installment took me a bit to get through but I loved the premise for this one. It had been a while since I revisited this story and it was hard to keep straight at first what happened in the last book vs what happened in the show but Kepnes does a good job at reminding the reader what happened last time Joe was on the page and also how he got to be where he was. My biggest complaint about this one and why I did not give it five stars like I did the first two, is that there wasn't enough murder! I come to Joe for the murder and he didn't murder enough people. But don't worry, he's just as crazy as always (if not more so) and Kepnes does a phenomenal job of making him believe he is not the bad guy. Reading from his perspective is something I will always find fascinating and I can't wait to see who Joe selects as his next love interest. If you liked the other installments in the series, there is no reason you won't like this one too.

I love watching the series YOU. After season 2 I decided to finally read the books. The other books are good but I felt the same way with this book as the others. For me I enjoyed it, then was bored by it, I was annoyed, I found some parts to be brilliant, I enjoyed Joe's observations, then I was back to twiddling my thumbs. This must be how Joe feels every day. I still enjoyed reading this book and I would read the next one if she decides to do more but I just can't love these books. I will still recommend these books because I know others that love these books so my opinion shouldn't make someone else not read them. I still want to read her other books to see if they read differently.



Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for allowing me to read this ARC for my honest opinion.

While not my favorite of the "You" series, if you've read the rest, For You and Only You is worth the read to see what Joe, the anti-hero serial killer stalker that we love to hate, is up to now. I quite enjoyed the Sarah Beth character, and Joe bumbling through his kills just certain he was making things better for himself each time. And of course, the Harvard/Boston setting was a nice touch too.

Thank you to Random House and Netgalley for the electronic copy.

I've seen the show, but haven't read the first 3 books. I know I know!! But, I found this to be a bit boring and too long for what it was. It seems peoples favourite is still book 1, so I need to go read that one and book two and three so I can do a full ranking of the series.

I love Joe's character.

I have been a HUGE fan of Caroline Kepnes since the first day I picked up a paperback copy of You, so needless to say I was thrilled to get an ARC of For You and Only You. Caroline Kepnes has done an exceptional job of developing Joe, so much to the point that you do try to root for him even when you shouldn't. Her writing style is unmatched, and I could not have been happier with the way the book ended. For You and Only You did not disappoint!

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!

I hate that I didn't love For You and Only You. I don't know if the series has gone on too long, or if I am simply starting to be unable to suspend the disbelief that Joe Goldberg keeps getting away with everything. I didn't love any of these characters and didn't find myself particularly hooked on the story. I expected something different from a Joe Goldberg story.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read this EPUB in exchange for an honest review. First, I would like to say, if it is a Kepnes book, I will be reading it. I love the writing style and mood that Kepnes is able to create in each one of her books. I always find that it is easy to get pulled into a story and not want to get out. However, this book was a bit of a challenge for me to get through. I found that Joe was a bit of a challenge to "enjoy" in this particular setting. At times, he was even insufferable. I know that his character is not inherently "lovable", but I do typically enjoy his sarcasm and humor. In this particular novel I found it a bit more challenging. Overall, this book was much more of a 'hit' than a 'miss'. I cannot wait for the next installment in this incredible series.

Thanks to Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. This was another great installment about Joe Goldberg’s and his new love interest Wonder Parish. As always, it was well written and entertaining. I’ll continue to read more by this author in the future to see what happens to Joe!

So... This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year.... And.... I didn't like it 😭
I just couldn't really get into the story. The love interest was just "meh"...In my opinion, this one felt forced. It makes me so sad because I have adored the whole series. ...However, I won't give up on the series. I would still be first in line to buy the next book if there is another... 👀

I've read the entire series and by far this book is my least favorite. I struggled to like any of the new characters and got frustrated with the aspects of the main female character, Wonder, that Joe consistently spoke negative about. I perceived Joe consistently calling Wonder a "Goodreads girl" as an insult and that really annoyed me. This book is set in Boston, where I am from, and I thought this alone might make this my favorite of the series, but Joe constantly spoke down about Boston and aspects of Bostonian life.

Thank you to NetGalley, Caroline Kepnes, and Random House Publishing for this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review. (less)

I loved the continuation of Joe Goldberg’s adventures. It almost seemed like you were meeting a different Joe as the book went on. With the introduction of other people in the book his references to people as RIP makes it a lot easier to follow.
