The author told Her that the third book is going to be exploring "the murky territory of co-dependency and love" as Joe makes another big move.
"So, Hidden Bodies ended—spoiler alert—with Joe in police custody, separated from Love, who is pregnant with their child. This is Joe’s actual happy place," she said.
"He thinks he’s gonna have a daughter, he loves this girl before she exists and she’s literally in a womb."
She added that much like the first two books, the setting of You 3 will be more of a character.
"This time around Joe moves somewhere he believes to be morally and geographically pristine, a place where no one ever gets murdered," she continued.
"He writes off his past troubles as a result of his living in New York and LA and he’s determined to be a good guy, which should be easy because he’s around good people, local saviours, bookworms. Well, it’s not easy. He has trouble in his love life. He’s frustrated with the American Injustice System because good guys like him always get the short end of the stick.
"So as Holly Hunter says inRaising Arizona, everything’s chaaaanged. And then again, he’s Joe. He’s not the best at personal growth, to say the least. Also, I wrote some songs for this book and one of them is stuck in my head. So hopefully it will be stuck in many heads soon and we can all commiserate."Explore more on these topics:
