You (Kepnes)

Book Reviews
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)


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.

If you liked GONE GIRL’S portrayal of a marriage in decline, the demented love story at the heart of YOU will have you gripped….This book will give you Stockholm syndrome.
Harpers Bazaar (UK)


A brilliant tale of obsessive love...it's Gone Girl meets a sinister version of Girls.
Marie Claire (UK)


You think you know the story: girl meets boy, boy turns out to be a murderous stalker. US journalist Kepnes' debut is a fantastically creepy thriller...the kind of book you put your life on hold for.
Glamour


A page turner...clever and chilling.
Elle (UK)


[S]eriously unsettling.... What’s most chilling about this novel, besides its plausibility, is the way in which Kepnes makes the reader empathize with Joe during the journey into his troubled mind. Her book will have readers looking over their shoulders.
Publishers Weekly


Kepnes certainly has the creepy factor down in her debut novel, taking readers deep into Joe's thoughts and feelings, to extremely suspenseful effect. And Joe is entirely believable as the stalker from hell.... [T]his will appeal to fans of psychological horror. —Jane Jorgenson, Madison P.L., WI
Library Journal


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


Kepnes keeps the reader guessing on just how everything will implode. There's nothing romantic about Joe's preoccupation with Beck, but Kepnes puts the reader so deep into his head that delusions approach reality.
