Hidden Bodies is the perfect follow up to You, the predecessor to this quirky, crude and page turner of a book. I do recommend reading these books in order if you can.

Kepnes has come back with her lovable, sicko-stalker, Joe Goldberg, as he tackles LA in search of another โ€˜love of his lifeโ€™. The authorโ€™s humor is ever apparent and her play on the word, love, is done quite well. The intricacies of family life are new territory for Joe and put him in sticky situations that just add to his brand of crazy.

This book ended so realistically, yet left room for the series to go on. Joe Goldberg is a supremely flawed, sex hungry, well-read, murderous, narcissistic, stalker nut job and itโ€™s hard not to love him!

Fair warning: you must be comfortable with body parts and sexual language because this book is chock full of them.

Quotes I liked:

I don’t know if I could go on, because the real horror of my life is not that I’ve killed some terrible people. The real horror is that the people I’ve loved didn’t love me back.โ€

-โ€œEverything can wait when you have love in your life.โ€

-โ€œLove is kind, love is patient but also, mainly, above all-yes-love is perverted.โ€

-โ€œItโ€™s a special thing, when someone who canโ€™t tell a story tries.โ€
