'HIDDEN BODIES' by Caroline Kepnes (2016) The sequel to 'YOU'
"I hate it here. Everyone is wrong. Delilah is bad at flirting. Harvey is too aggressive about drinking. And everyday is actually three days, a freezing morning, a blistering day, and a cool night. You need a lot of clothes. And every day is the same day, which is why it's important to hang a calendar. I see why people move here and wake up one day scratching their heads, wondering when they turned forty or what year it is." - Joe
We are back following our favorite obsessive, murderous, Joe, who is chasing (unsuccessfully) another girl...and this time, it takes place in sunny Los Angeles, California.
The vast difference in this book is it taking place in Los Angeles and Joe seeming even angrier and bi-polar. Los Angeles doesn't do him well, yet in a city where so many DO get away with murder...
Not going to lie, this book wasn't as good as its predecessor. Is it ever? Los Angeles is depicted bleak and I can't tell if its just Joe's feelings or an under current to how the author actually feels about LA. The characters are flimsy...maybe that is more to portraying LA people, but you really don't like or care about ANYONE. Even Love. The person.
I feel even the suspense is lacking than the first. Written like a cheap movie. Again, maybe its just the personal feels of the author towards LA, or its a clever inside joke towards how LA just 'lacks'. If so, it doesn't come off gracefully and relies too much on a overused stereotype. I do like that Joe still has a knack for words and zingers of insults. Thankfully, Miss Kepnes never loses that part of Joe. Oh, the snappy things he says that we wish we could say, or better yet, that we even came up with.
I am curious how the 2nd season will be like that is based on the book and will be filmed in LA. Hopefully, the creators will give LA a break and focus more on Joe, who is also living in constant fear of his past finally catching up with him...
"It takes a long time for the party to end because most of the guests are dirt-poor fan boys who need this night to stay juiced about their own flailing careers. I listen to their American Apparel conversations and the way they analyze their expressions - even your teeth look stoked - and I wonder what will become of them all. There aren't enough mansions and jobs to go around." - Joe
