Blurb:
When a beautiful, aspiring writer strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe Goldberg works, he does what anyone would do: he Googles the name on her credit card.
There is only one Guinevere Beck in New York City. She has a public Facebook account and Tweets incessantly, telling Joe everything he needs to know: she is simply Beck to her friends, she went to Brown University, she lives on Bank Street, and she’ll be at a bar in Brooklyn tonight—the perfect place for a “chance” meeting.

As Joe invisibly and obsessively takes control of Beck’s life, he orchestrates a series of events to ensure Beck finds herself in his waiting arms. Moving from stalker to boyfriend, Joe transforms himself into Beck’s perfect man, all while quietly removing the obstacles that stand in their way—even if it means murder.
Cover Review:
The cover is dark, haunting and utterly compelling. Love it!
Book Review:
Oh My God. This was the most disturbing book I've read till date.
Joe Golberg was an amazingly well crafted character and also a complete creep.
You kept me on my toes as I followed Joe as he literally followed Beck in order to be close to her.
The creepiest fact about this book is that Joe never realizes what he did was wrong. It's unsettling.
Though at the same time, I can't stop myself from giving it the 5 stars rating because it was that brilliantly written.
If you're not afraid of stalkers, crazy -sickos (Beck's word, not mine) then go ahead and read this book! ;)
