High voltage in three seasons on Netflix.

The book series "You" by Caroline Kepnes provides thriller entertainment.

Four volumes have been published.

The Netflix series "You - You will love me" is designed according to the book series over four seasons.

The first season of the first book was released in 2018. The fourth season is currently being gradually made available on Netflix.

The story about Joe Goldberg, who works in a bookstore in New York and has to fight with his inner demons, provides a lot of goosebump moments and is therefore a perfect thriller.

Joe Goldberg is handsome, charming - and ready to finally fall in love.

When aspiring author Guinevere Beck walks into the bookstore where he works, he is instantly smitten.

Knowing he needs to see her again, he does what anyone would do in his situation: he googles her name and finds out everything he can about her in order to "accidentally" run into her a second time.

Both feel the connection that exists between them - it's the perfect love story... isn't it?

In the book, just like the Netflix series, we follow Joe Goldberg's thoughts and actions.

It's the spelling, the way the main character Joe addresses the young author Guinevere as "Du".

This creates a very individual closeness and very often gives you goosebumps when reading.

How does Joe feel, what actions does he intend to take.

A lot remains open here for now.

We as readers are often left out.

Caroline Kepnes describes all impressions through the eyes of her main character, which is very appropriate in this genre thriller.

YOU, by Caroline Kepnis: Hypnotic and scary.

A little Ira Levin, a little Patricia Highsmith, and plenty of serious snark.

cool stuff

— Stephen King (@StephenKing) December 16, 2014

Grandmaster Stephen King also found the book outstanding and had previously read "nothing comparable".

For fans of Patricia Highsmith and Ira Levin.

Even those who like to read the thrillers by Sebastian Fitzek and Vincent Kliesch will really enjoy "You - You will love me".

In the bookstore where he works, Joe accidentally meets the young Guinevere Beck, who seems to fascinate him from the first moment.

Shortly thereafter, he begins to stalk her online and in real life.

He wants to win her over.

All or nothing.

Shreds of memories from the past flicker again and again.

What happened to his ex girlfriend?

Where is the owner who owns the bookstore and who taught Joe the fascination with books and also with bookbinding?

The pages of the book just fly by.

As a reader, one always asks oneself whether it is a good idea to disclose private information on social media.

Stalkers have endless possibilities, as Kristine Getz describes in "Poppy".

Caroline Kepnes "You - You will love me": Conclusion
