For You and Only You

Joe Goldberg is done selling other people’s stories—it’s time to write his own. When celebrated author Glenn Shoddy spots his talent, Joe is invited to an elite Harvard writing fellowship, a place where, he believes, brilliance can outshine privilege and maybe, just maybe, a happy ending is within reach. But his new peers—already-published, already-praised—reek of pedigree and pretension, and Joe realizes this ivory tower isn’t built for people like him.

Then comes Wonder Parish. No degrees, no smug anecdotes from boarding school, just a raw love of words. She feels like proof that kindred spirits still exist. But Wonder has her weaknesses, and Joe knows what every great writer knows: to create something beautiful, you sometimes have to kill your darlings.

With biting humor and a wicked edge, Caroline Kepnes delivers another chapter in Joe’s twisted quest for justice in an unjust world. And if Cambridge ends up stained red in the process—well, that’s the cost of a better story.
