Books > Promotion > It?s ALL About YOU
Joe Goldburg is ready for his life to start. He’s seventeen years old,
working in Mr. Mooney’s bookshop, falling in love with every girl on
the subway all while wondering who will be the one. He knows what he
needs: A woman who will force him to get his GED, go to night school,
and make something of himself. But who would ever fall in love with him?
Then he spots it: MISSED CONNECTION, NYC Bookstore Babe.
Someone is looking for Joe. And that someone is Vail Gunderson, a
production assistant with a passion for rom-coms. The only catch: she’s
twenty-four, which means that Joe has no choice but to lie about his
age…and, naturally, nearly everything else in his life. Joe thinks he’s
found true love, but when Vail needs more convincing that Joe is her
happily ever after, he’s determined to convince her…no matter what it
takes…

When aspiring writer Guinevere Beck strides into the bookstore where Joe works, he is instantly smitten.
But there's more to Joe than Beck realises and much more to Beck than her perfect facade. And the obsessive relationship quickly spirals into a whirlwind of deadly consequences...
A chilling account of unrelenting, terrifying deceit, Caroline Kepnes' You is a thriller more perversely clever and dangerously twisted than any YOU have ever read.
JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK. AND HE'S GOING TO START A FAMILY – 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 – he does know a thing or two about
books – 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.
JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK . . .
Joe came to Los Angeles to start over, to forget about what happened in
New York. But in a darkened room in Soho House everything suddenly
changed.
She is like no one he's ever met before.
She doesn't know about his past and never can.
The problem is, hidden bodies don't always stay that way.
JOE GOLDBERG IS BACK, AND THIS TIME HE'S WRITING HIS OWN HAPPILY EVER
AFTER . . .
Joe Goldberg is ready for a change. Instead of selling books, he’s
writing them. And he’s off to a good start.
Invited to join a tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard, Joe thinks
he’s finally found a place where talent matters more than pedigree.
Where anything is possible, even happy endings. At least until he meets
his uber-privileged, already-published, already-distinguished peers.
Thankfully, Wonder enters the picture. They have so much in common: no
college degrees, no pretensions, just a love for literature. They could
be those rare literary soulmates who never fall prey to their demons.
If only Wonder could just commit herself to the writing life.
But Joe has faith in Wonder. He will sacrifice his art for hers. And,
if he must, he will kill her darlings for her.
With her trademark biting wit, Caroline Kepnes explores why vulnerable
people bring out the worst in others as Joe sets out to make this
small, elite world a fairer place. And if a little crimson runs in the
streets of Cambridge, who can blame him? Love doesn’t conquer all.
Often, it needs a little push.
