Well, what do you know, Joe is back and I’m starting to be a little over it.
Joe Goldberg has moved to Massachusetts and after being invited to a writing fellowship at Harvard. What an accomplishment for Joe, a lifelong book lover! He used to sell books now he is going to write them. But he is also ready to fall in love, be obsessed, share some of his humor, obsess some more, and do what Joe does!
Joe has been an interesting character to follow. I was blown away when I read You. I thought it was fantastic and could not get enough of Joe. But now, I’m ready to break up with Joe. This book, although great in parts, was slow and a tad boring in other parts. It also felt long, and more editing would have been nice. I didn’t care for Wonder, his love interest. He usually falls in love with more interesting (and annoying) characters. You picked the wrong love interest here, Joe.
This has been a great series, but I just wasn’t feeling this one as much as I expected I would. I went in waves this book where I really enjoyed it, then was bored by it, I was annoyed, I found some passages brilliant, I enjoyed Joe’s observations, then I was back to twiddling my thumbs. This must be how Joe feels on a daily basis.
Joes moves around a lot, one must when you leave bodies in your wake, but it would be nice to see Joe go back to his roots, have a bookstore, and be a little more rooted. It was nice to see goodreads mentioned!
Although I was all over the place with this book, I still enjoyed it, but didn’t love it.
