*** PRE-ORDER THE NEXT THRILLING INSTALMENT IN THE SERIES BEHIND THE HIT NETFLIX SHOW â FOR YOU AND ONLY YOU IS OUT IN PAPERBACK SPRING 2024 ***
âCrazy, sexy, cool: Caroline Kepnes gets better â and Joe Goldberg gets worse â with every bookâ ERIN KELLY
'Caroline Kepnes writes with such malevolent energy, such dark grace and such ink-black humour. An utterly unique character and an utterly unique writer, in a marriage made somewhere between heaven and hellâ RICHARD OSMAN
'Fiendish, fast-paced, and very funny' PAULA HAWKINS
'Another dark, thrilling, and blackly hilarious adventure from everyone's favourite murderer' CLAIRE MCGOWAN
'I absolutely loved it. Itâs completely addictive, razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most darkly humorous. Joeâs back, and this time itâs definitely real love' CATHERINE STEADMAN
âCaroline Kepnes must be some kind of storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg â stalker, creep, multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a âlong overdue book, the one you never thought was comingâ â be such an entertaining narrator? Even Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmithâs famously amoral character (a clear inspiration for Kepnes), could be enjoyed at a third-person remove, unlike the in-your-face immediacy of Joeâs blinkered perspective . . . brilliantâ New York Times
JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK. AND HE'S GOING TO START A FAMILY â EVEN IF IT KILLS HIM . . .
Joe Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers, done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple pleasures on a cosy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first time in a long time, he can just breathe.
He gets a job at the local library â he does know a thing or two about books â and that's where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't meddle, he will not obsess. He'll win her the old fashioned way . . . by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time, they'll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after in this sleepy town.
The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy.
True love can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right thing and make room for him.
