I wanted to read a crazy protagonist and I got a crazy protagonist. I found myself rooting for Joe on several occasions even if it was insane to do so. He’s a funny guy and the problems he focuses on are equally funny. It’s a fun book filled with murder, stalking, and romance. It’s different from a lot of books I read but it does fulfill my love of an unreliable narrator because our narrator is just way too crazy. I like how the characters play out and how Joe always looks at what’s wrong with them. Of course there’s a million things wrong with Joe (he’s both pretentious and self satisfying) but man are the people in Beck’s life just as, if not more, messed up as her

Very graphic tale from the POV of a stalker obsessed with a girl after a brief encounter. I watched the series so I knew how this obsession takes over and leads to violence. There is nothing redeeming about the character Joe. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the book, more like disturbed by its nature

Loved how scary Joe is written, truly explores obsession and stalking and the mind of a man that wants to destroy a woman, whether intentional or not. The book is absolutely better.
