You: A Novel: A Novelvolume 1 (The You Series) - Softcover

"Intense and deeply disturbing, You is a dark story told in a fresh voice, and an addictive read from beginning to end. Being inside Joe Goldberg's head was both a thrill and a nightmare, and yet I didn't want to wake up. I look forward to more from the very talented Caroline Kepnes."--Jennifer Hillier, author of THE BUTCHER

"Both original and compelling. If you only read one new thriller this year, make it this one. It will stay with you long after you have put it down."--Geoffrey Wansell "Daily Mail (UK) "

"YOU is superb. So funny, apart from anything else, and properly clever. It is: different, hot."--Sophie Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of The Monogram Murders and The Other Woman's House

"Hypnotic and scary...never read anything quite like it."--Stephen King

"My most favorite thriller."--Lena Dunham

"This is one of the most unsettling books I've read this year, but despite being thoroughly creeped out, I couldn't put it down even for a second. It's narrated by the villain, which makes for a rather unnerving read. I even found myself accidentally rooting for him as he was about to commit pretty heinous crimes. Whoops."--Bustle

"An impending sense of dread hangs over Kepnes' cleverly claustrophobic debut, in which love takes on a whole new meaning...Kepnes keeps the reader guessing."--Kirkus Reviews

"Chilling...[Kepnes' YOU] will have readers looking over their shoulders."--Publisher's Weekly

"Chilling...unrelenting."--USAToday.com

"A deeply dark yet mesmerizing first novel of two people caught in a romantic tangle with an ever-tightening knot."--Booklist

NOW A HIT NETFLIX SERIES

“Hypnotic and scary.” —Stephen King

“I am RIVETED, AGHAST, AROUSED, you name it. The rare instance when prose and plot are equally delicious.” —Lena Dunham

From debut author Caroline Kepnes comes You, one of Suspense Magazine’s Best Books of the Year, and a brilliant and terrifying novel for the social media age.

When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.

There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she’ll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a “chance” meeting.

As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck’s life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck’s perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.

A terrifying exploration of how vulnerable we all are to stalking and manipulation, debut author Caroline Kepnes delivers a razor-sharp novel for our hyper-connected digital age. You is a compulsively readable page-turner that’s being compared to Gone Girl, American Psycho, and Stephen King’s Misery.
