You first : a Joe Goldberg prequel / Caroline Kepnes.
"Joe Goldberg is ready for his life to start. He's seventeen years old, working in Mr. Mooney's bookshop, falling in love with every girl on the subway all the while wondering who will be the one. He knows what he needs: A woman who will force him to get his GED, go to night school, and make something of himself. But who would ever fall in love with him? Then he spots it: Missed Connection, NYC Bookstore Babe. Someone is looking for Joe. And that someone is Vail Gunderson, a production assistant with a passion for rom-coms. The only catch: she's twenty-four, which means that Joe has no choice but to lie about his age...and naturally, nearly everything else in his life. Joe thinks he's found true love, but when Vail needs more convincing that Joe is her happily ever after, he's determined to convince her...no matter what it takes..."-- Provided by publisher.
