Joe follows Amy to California…and then that plot is essentially dropped and never revisited until one of the final chapters of the book when you are too tired and bored to care anymore. Joe is meant to be brooding in New York, working in the bookstore with the creepy cage in the basement. Joe is not a character that is meant to be in sunny California. I was hoping that would improve once Joe was finally settled in California, but it never got better. The beginning of the book captured my attention, but beyond that, I hated the direction that this book went in after Joe moved to California. Honestly, I didn’t like much about Hidden Bodies. Joe makes some new friends on his quest to find Amy and immerses himself in the lifestyle of someone trying to “make it” in Hollywood. After a few chapters of what feels like the perfect match for Joe, something happens, and he is suddenly dropping everything to follow her across the country to LA. Hidden Bodies picks up where You ends with Joe hiring the obviously lying Amy to work in the bookstore. Possible spoilers ahead if you have not read You. Hello, fellow readers! I put off writing this review, mostly because I am a procrastinator, but also because I couldn’t put in to words how disappointing Hidden Bodies was for me.
