For You and Only You

Joe Goldberg is ready for a change. Instead of selling books, he wants to write them — and when the acclaimed literary author Glenn Shoddy recognizes his "genius" and invites him into a tight-knit writing fellowship at Harvard, Joe believes he has finally found his people. There is just one rule of fiction he takes to heart: if you want to write a book, you have to kill your darlings.

Surrounded by pretentious rivals and drawn to a fellow fellow named Wonder Parish, Joe sets out to build the life and the love he has always felt entitled to. But the closer he gets to belonging, the more bodies pile up around him, and the old patterns reassert themselves in a world of literary ambition, class resentment, and self-delusion.

The fourth Joe Goldberg novel from Caroline Kepnes is a darkly comic psychological thriller that turns its satirical eye on the world of prestige fiction, narrated by one of contemporary crime writing's most seductive and unreliable voices.
