Synopsis
Joe Goldberg came to Los Angeles from New York to start over and hunt down the woman who broke his heart – Amy Adam. Joe also wants to leave behind his dark past, which includes the murder of his girlfriend, Guinevere Beck.
However, Joe's plans suddenly change when he falls in love with an aspiring actress named Love Quinn at Soho House. She doesn't know about his past and never can. The problem is, hidden bodies don't always stay that way.
Reception
Anthony Breznican from Entertainment Weekly gave praise to the novel, stating that "as satire of a self-absorbed society, Kepnes hits the mark, cuts deep, and twists the knife".
