I know Hidden Bodies is already written (because I pre-ordered it months ago lol), but is it too late to beg (and plead) that Joe not get caught? Because he already has a lot of bodies, and that would add up to life in prison =[

(view spoiler)[Aaaaaaah I llove this, Amber! I know. I get it. For me, the end of Hidden Bodies is so Joe in that not only is he always supremely logical and rational in his own twisted way--knowing that money/lawyers can trump truth in all legal situations--but he's also going to be a father. So in his mind, he's won. I loved this image of him curled up in a cell, feeling like the cell is a joke because he's going to be a dad, he has people out there who love him, want him out. He's always rising above his circumstances. And I think that's part of why we are drawn to him in spite of all this murder, all this crime. There is something enticing in his continued quest to find the bright side of any situation. Yet when it comes to humans, he is all about noticing when the dark has taken over the light. And that's what's terrifying about him, his confidence and utter belief in his opinions. Nothing scarier than someone with that much conviction. Not to me anyway. (hide spoiler)]

Hi Caroline, "You" was a really exceptional book-so original- I felt I could not stop reading it and when it was done I felt like I had done something wrong--really a weird vibe... Bravo... but, why did you change Amy's eye color from chestnut in "You" to blue in your sequel "Hidden Bodies"? This is driving me crazy-aside from Joe making me really scared and creeped out-What color are his eyes/hair? I need to know.
