You  by Caroline Kepnes | Book Review (English Version)

“Have you ever fallen so deeply in love with someone that you would do anything to have them by your side?” This is the question that permeates every page of Caroline Kepnes’ book “You,” a work that takes us into the disturbing and fascinating world of Joe Goldberg, a man who becomes obsessed with Guinevere Beck and is willing to do whatever it takes to have her. From the first pages, I was captivated by the engaging narrative and Joe’s unique voice. It’s amazing how the author manages to make us empathize with such a complex and morally questionable protagonist. Yes, Joe is a stalker, a manipulator, and ultimately a murderer. But there’s something captivating about his brutal honesty and distorted view of love and obsession. What impressed me most about “You” was the way Kepnes immerses us in Joe’s mind and makes us question our own notions of right and wrong. Throughout the story, we find ourselves rooting for the protagonist, even though we know he’s committing terrible acts. It’s a
