Synopsis

THE RIVETING SEQUEL TO THE HIT BOOK YOU, NOW A NETFLIX SERIES

"Kepnes hits the mark, cuts deep, and twists the knife." --Entertainment Weekly

"Delicious and insane...The plot may be twisty and scintillating, but its Kepnes's wit and style that keep you coming back." --Lena Dunham

"Hypnotic and scary." --Stephen King

"Obsessed." --Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive

In the compulsively readable sequel to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You, Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls "the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman."

Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Now he's heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him.

In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other young upstarts. He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a journalist neighbor. But while others seem fixated on their own reflections, Joe can't stop looking over his shoulder. The problem with hidden bodies is that they don't always stay that way. They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: true love. And when he finds it in a darkened room in Soho House, he's more desperate than ever to keep his secrets buried. He doesn't want to hurt his new girlfriend--he wants to be with her forever. But if she ever finds out what he's done, he may not have a choice...

About this title

Review

"Obsessed."--Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author

"You will need this book. Caroline Kepnes just became my new favorite writer."--Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"Both original and compelling. If you only read one new thriller this year, make it this one. It will stay with you long after you have put it down."--Geoffrey Wansell "Daily Mail (UK) "

"YOU is superb. So funny, apart from anything else, and properly clever. It is: different, hot."--Sophie Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of The Monogram Murders and The Other Woman's House

"Delicious and insane as its predecessor....The plot may be twisty and scintillating, but its Kepnes' wit and style that keep you coming back."--Lena Dunham

"[A] clever, canny and creepy tale that's every bit as delectable as YOU. Caroline Kepnes is my latest obsession."--Mary Kubica

"There's something deeply insidious about the storytelling of Caroline Kepnes. As satire of a self-absorbed society, Kepnes hits the mark, cuts deep, and twists the knife."--Entertainment Weekly

"With Hidden Bodies (out today), Caroline Kepnes delivers a more riveting, more chilling, more fascinating sophomore novel as our favorite sociopath Joe Goldberg takes on Hollywood... suspenseful, charming and unexpectedly poetic...With her singular style, endearing antihero and captivating social satire, Kepnes will leave you entirely satisfied and ready for more."--USA Today: Happy Ever After

"The next Gone Girl is a title that's been tossed around considerably in literary circles, but Kepnes' sophomore effort is worthy of the comparison."--Instyle

"A dark, fun and frightening character study that deeply (and I do mean deeply) explores the hypocrisy of the trendsetters of the moment and those who follow them."--bookreporter.com
