Loving this highly anticipated book! I love Joe and I’m happy to see he’s really been trying to better himself. The character development really shines in this book and Kepnes continues to deliver a compelling story. Highly recommend for any thriller lovers

In Kepnes’ latest installment in the You series, Joe lands a free ride for a writing class at Harvard and connects with another “scholarship” recipient. It is nice to see Joe find someone less pretentious than his past girlfriends. He encourages her in unorthodox ways to continue writing her book while engaging in strange yet interesting side stories with other characters in the book. Although I love the You series as a whole, this one fell a little flat. I found myself bored while trying to push through to the end. It is hard to compete with the first book in the series!

Another great adventure with Joe Goldberg. Caroline Kepnes never disappoints. Her wit and world building has been so much fun,

What can I say it’s another “You “book. This book follows Joe as he goes to Harvard on a fellowship where he meets HER, Wonder. He becomes obsessed and same story different hiccups. I love these books but they are basically repeating themselves at this point. That being said I’ll still pick them up every time they come out because I love the writing in these books! I love hearing Joes inner monologue and sarcastic thoughts. I enjoyed this one I loved the academic setting and I really liked Wonder. The story was ok but pretty similar to previous books and thought the story was more entertaining in previous ones. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

For You and Only You is the fourth book in the You series, and you absolutely need to read all of the other books that come before it before you can read this one.
I found myself laughing so hard throughout the whole story at Joe’s antics and internal monologue, no matter how inappropriate laughing may be. I listened to this one on audio and thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend the entire series on audio if you can as the narrator does such a wonderful Joe characterization. Sometimes series that go on for more than three books can seem a bit repetitive and don’t grab my attention as much, but this is definitely not one of those series. Kudos to Kepnes for keeping me entertained throughout the entire series!
Thank you to Random House and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this in exchange for my honest opinion.

I just love this series. Getting into the mind of a sociopath is always a wild ride! Caroline Kepnes remains a master!
Joe is complex and you just try to hate him but he is so intuitive and fascinating. Each time I finish the newest book I start anticipating the next one..

This book was really good! Caroline knows how to keep reeling you in! Despite the million, blazing red flags, Joe Goldberg is one of my book boyfriends. This series never disappoints and I'm constantly thinking back to it.

I love the TV show You and enjoyed the first book in this series but all the other books have just been not up to par and this one was no exception. While I thought the plot sounded interesting and parts of the story were interesting to me, I felt like there was too much fluff or trying to hard to sound cool and interesting with some of Joe's innerthoughts that it was just overkill and made me not enjoy the book. It also made the book way too long and drawn out.

I am a huge fan of Caroline Kepnes and I wish she'd stopped with Joe at #3 and moved on to something else.
She can write with the best of them--she's absolutely amazing.
But with this one, she seemed to be reaching--as if her agent or her editoror somebody was telling her to stick with a proven winner.
Except for Joe, who I feel I know intimately from the previous three books, I didn't care whether any of the other characters lived or died. They were that uninteresting to me. And I wish a lot more of them HAD died, but Joe wasn't up to speed in his usual manner.
I don't know--maybe it was because it was set in the world of the literati: writing, publishing, agents, lit crit, etc. That might be fascinating to some people but I've been fucking with it for 50+ years and I despise it. Maybe it'd be like a lobster fisherman reading a book about lobster fishermen.
Anyway, I love Caroline.
Just didn't love this book. It was good, but not great.

This is the four book in the "You" series and I still love Joe Goldberg. I know I should hate him but I find myself rooting for him every single time. If you are looking for a book that follows the Netflix series, this is not it. This book finds Joe at Harvard after he's invited to join a writing fellowship. There he meets Wonder, his newest obsession.

I’ve loved every single book so far in the you series. This one is a little different and I loved it. I got to know who Joe was. I feel like this series is pretty much the same every book he finds a new girl falls in love the kills everyone he gets his way. I understand that’s kind of his MO but it was nice to kind of get a little bit more of Joe. I will always recommend these books to anyone who asks because I love how they’re written and I love the characters. I just feel like it’s getting kind of predictable.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to read an advanced copy of another installment of Joe’s adventures.
I really enjoy Joe’s adventures and perspective and this book follows a similar vein as the others & the Netflix series. While this formula is entertaining and familiar, it’s not quite as thrilling as when I was first introduced to Joe. It is a good read and I will recommend it to some of my friends who like this genre.

This is the fourth title in the "You" series by Caroline Kepnes and I think I have lost myself in Joe's world between the Netflix show and the book series. Needless to say, it has been a little while since Joe Goldberg and I crossed paths. I missed the gap between the end of the Netflix show and the beginning of this book, and I was a little lost. I liked Wonder's name, but not necessarily her character. I feel like the other females in Joe's world have been more memorable. This felt very methodical and while we know Joe to be a creature of habit, I was looking for something a little different in this storyline. To be quite honest, I'm on the "Joe-train" as long as it goes, and while this wasn't my favorite book, I am locked in for any that may follow.

Oh Joe, always in a pickle. I mean honestly it’s still a shock he’s alive at this point and up to his same old shenanigans but I’m always in on these books and of course the tv series!
Thank you #atria and #NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review

I didn’t have high expectations for this book since it is the fourth book in the “You” series since the books got progressively worse. It follows the same equation of writer Joe Goldberg falls for woman and choas ensues. At this point, I feel like that are just writing the books to continue with the Netflix series so they can profit off both simultaneously. Unfortunately, the storylines are all so similar that it takes the element of surprise away as well making the books less interesting overall.

After really enjoying the first books in this series, I wasn’t able to get through this one. The storyline seemed to be all over the place and I had trouble following the plot. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish this one. I am really grateful to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me with the opportunity to read this book.

I hate to say it.... but I think I'm over this series. I feel like we've lost the plot of the original story and I know we evolve and grow and make room for new possibilities but Joe is a serial killer whose story has gone on for way too many books now. I would've been happy at book 2 being the sole sequel to You but by book 3 I just didn't have that same pull to reading the story. I liked how unpredictable Joe was and how we still were getting to know the lengths he'd go to to get to the person he wanted and although he's still unhinged, I don't find that same mystery being fed.

You was one of my all-time favourite books and the fact that I have fallen so out of love with it is disappointing. I feel if you've enjoyed the expansion of the story you'd like this one but I am done.

I can never have enough Joe! When I heard there was another book I was very excited. I won't give anything away but you definitely want to read this one!

Every time I finish a book in this series I think to myself “yep, I’m done. Definitely not reading any more.” And yet, here I am. I found this book lacking in the thrill. Joe doesn’t seem to have the same amount of creepy, stalking, killing that he once did. That lack of thrill really ruined it for me. So, here I am telling myself once more, I’m done with this series.

But, a SB spin-off? That I for sure need.

Super disappointed with this one. It had me in the beginning, but I just feel like we've lost the plot, and it feels like we're recycling the story at this point.
