When it comes to books, we spend the majority of our time hunting out psychological thrillers and compelling mysteries to sink our teeth into and get our heads around.

Netflix have just added a new suggestion to our reading list after releasing a trailer for their latest Original, YOU, based on the novel of the same name.

According to the streaming site, YOU follows "the riveting and hypnotic story of Joe Goldberg, an obsessive yet brilliant New Yorker, who exploits today’s technology to win the heart of Beck amid the growing suspicions of her best friend Peach.

"Joe transforms himself from stalker to boyfriend while doing whatever it takes to eliminate all obstacles standing in his way — even if it means murder. Set in today’s 24/7 hyper-connected world, YOU explores how vulnerable we all are to stalking and manipulation online and in real life."

Sounds like a pretty good read, doesn't it? The best-selling novel by Caroline Kepnes originally came out in 2014 to rave reviews, while the Netflix Original stars Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail, Luca Padovan, Zach Cherry and Shay Mitchell.
