1.3/5 Stars ⭐️“It is possible to know people. They show you who they are. You just have to be looking.”Oh boy. Where do I begin? Have you ever felt like reading a book could manifest itself? Like you could actually have not only mental but physical symptoms from the experience? I felt like death was coming while reading it. Coronavirus has nothing on this. And I actually finished this book while on quarantine.This book contains more Woody Allen references than Riverdale's random pop culture refe...

a bunch of psychopaths trying to do what they think it is right, in their own way.

AND ONE STAR GOES TO THE WORST THRILLER BOOK I WISH I HAVEN’T READ!I wanted to read this sequel even though I wasn’t a big fan of the first book and I wanted to see what was coming next on Netflix series! L.A. could be nice change of view for Joe’s killer instincts (maybe he may save us from so many obnoxious, B-rated stars and jackals and abusers who destroy lives in movie industry)OMG dammit what happened to the witty, intellectual, sarcastic and entertaining inner monologue of Joe? The author...

I’m sorry, but this book was not good at all. A super unnecessary sequel that lost absolutely everything that made You such a hit. I don’t think it’s possible for me to be more disappointed. This is one of my least favorite books I’ve ever read. CW: stalking, violence, murder, substance abuseI was deeply disappointed with the direction of Joe’s character. In You, Joe has a unique path of development. It’s clear he is a very twisted man who does horrible, irredeemable things, yet there are moment...

I loved 'You' and started 'Hidden Bodies' immediately after I finished it. Looking back, I think that maybe I should have taken a break from the endearingly crazy Joe. Two books full of his rants and rationalizations back to back was just too much. Joe's special brand of crazy is probably best served in small doses. I absolutely loved him, but soon grew irritated with his antics. You really can get too much of a good thing.After the way things ended for Beck, Joe finds a new object of obsession,...

I buy violets for Amy. Not roses. Roses are for people who did something wrong. I have done everything right this time around. I’m a good boyfriend. I chose well. And so begins the sequel to Kepnes' beautiful little mindfuck - You. We are taken, once again, inside the mind of Joe Goldberg as he, yet again, pursues his "true love". This time, his adventures take him all the way to Los Angeles.Hidden Bodies is good, but honestly, Kepnes has lost a little magic here. I think it was always going ...

Oh dear, Ms. Kepnes. You got me with You, but clearly you were out to get someone else with Hidden Bodies. What I found clever and enticing in You seems to have vanished, and in its place you took me on a crude meandering journey that felt too long -- way too long -- and pointless. In fact, it’s almost like you knew exactly what to do to shake me off. Instead of the bookish New York setting in You, you set Hidden Bodies in Hollywood with no literary references whatsoever. And focusing on Hollywo...

DNF at page 84I wasn't kidding when I said this is the worst book I've ever read. This is seriously the worst book I've ever read. Every other book I actually finished and awarded one star and every other book I never finished because it sucked... all of those books are a million times better than this garbage that masquerades itself as a book. Caroline Kepnes has to be a pseudonym for a thirteen year old boy who just learned about sex from his friend and spends his days watching porn and eating...

Caroline Kepnes, I don't know if you know this or not but you are building a legion of fangirls and boys. We will follow you.......... Joe is that character that you are not sure you should admit to liking. You sure as hell shouldn't publicly acclaim just how much you adore him. Joe falls for Amy, that chick from the end of the last book that gave him a fake credit card. She is so perfect for him. They get each other.Then the scamming heifer takes off after robbing him. Joe is not going t...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/The rare re-read continues with the second book in the You franchise and once again when it comes to my original thoughts below . . . . But I'm doubling down on this being a stupid effing title. It should have been Love. Especially with the upcoming book three. You then Love then You Love Me . . . . ORIGINAL REVIEW:THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN ZERO SPOILERS, BUT WILL BE FULL OF IDIOTIC FANGIRL SQUEEING. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK Mic...
