A Novel Adaptation29 Huhti 2019

20 - YOU by Caroline Kepnes

We did this all for you, dear listeners. You. Now all we ask in return is that you love us. … just kidding, our names aren't Joe Goldberg but we do have a lot to say about him and his toxic tendencies. We yearn for a messier Beck and admit our crush on her and her hair in the tv show adaptation. We've had it with voiceovers and have plenty of ideas for Netflix when they eventually (hopefully?) remake this one.

Episode Drink: The Celery Stalker

2 ounces Plymouth Gin
1 ounce simple syrup
1 ounce fresh lime juice
2 dashes celery bitters
Perrier Jouet Grand Brut Champagne
1 cucumber slice, for garnish

Put all ingredients except the champagne, into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake.Strain into a coupe, top with champagne. Garnish with a cucumber wheel.

Recipe: Food Republic

Our Drinking Game for this Story:

Take a drink:

Every time you can say you've experienced some of the toxic masculinity that Joe exhibits. Like his entitlement for your actions or his controlling nature.
Joe says he's doing something for YOU Beck.
Every time Joe wacks off in an unusual place.
Every time Beck leans into her codependency with any other character.
Take a drink when it just becomes too much with these characters because it's just a lot.
Pro Tips: Lock your doors and maybe just have curtains when you're drinking.

Please drink responsibly! Hail hydrate.
