YOU was one of my favorite books I read this year. The book I'm looking forward to most in early 2016 is HIDDEN BODIES. What do you have planned for your next book? Thank you so much for creating such great work.
Caroline Kepnes
Thank you, Dana! It's exciting to hear that the book stayed with you. I love that! Right now I'm working on two new books. And they're technically different in the sense that one is all New England/disappearance and the other is Hollywood/working mom. But at the end of the day, for me, they're very similar in that they're both about people struggling to get along in the world. And then it's my job to make these worlds compelling and to make sure the journey is exciting for you so that after you finish, ideally, a few minutes later you're like, that book is still with me. That's what I do all day! (That and Twitter and Facebook and 90210 reruns and....)

What would you define as Joe's mental state? As in, he's definitely got many traits of being a sociopath, but if you were a Psychologist, what would you 'diagnose' him with? Also, do you think he would be perceived as an odd or different kind of person if a stranger were to see him in public, or would he be seen as just an average looking guy? Especially from the perspective of someone who created him!

Hi Caroline! I absolutely loved "YOU". Joe is such a complicated character - I wanted to be appalled at his murderous actions but I couldn't help but think, man, "suchandsuchcharacter kind of deserved it". Is that terrible of me? Anyway, my question is whether the "YOU" books are a trilogy or just the two. I can't wait for "Hidden Bodies"!
