I really enjoyed reading this book. Even though there were several characters, I felt that the book covered all of their lives equally and it was not hard to keep up with them.
If I could travel back in time and give 12-year-old me some kind advice I would say with love in my heart “bitch this shit is fucking wild what’s wrong with you.”
Honorable plot highlights included my visceral realization that Emily/Maya was a bit of an awakening for me, “pussies who ride small gay horses,” Wren as a character because I’d been confusing him with Darren for some reason?, every single character smoking like a chimney, countless Tiffany name-dropping like was this an ad campaign or what, early 2000’s music references my beloved, Spencer’s psychotic parents, Emily’s psychotic parents, HANNA’S MOM?!, and lowkey Ezra is the worst right why are we rooting for him?
I’m gonna read the rest of this series and no one can stop me XOXO -A

This is just a good time. There are some very problematic themes in here, so look up the trigger warnings. But as I had watched the show, I knew what I was getting myself into. Is it literary genius, no. Did I have a messy, enjoyable time? Yes.
¿Me voy a leer esta saga por la nostalgia nada más? Sí. ¿Voy a ser objetivo? Para nada.
So I've wanted to read this for years, back when I lived out of home with a high school friend she read it, and was meant to let me borrow it after her. However she was the slowest reader on the planet and we finished school before I got a chance to read it.
Anyway, I finally, after watching the latest episode on the tv went, 'oh I wanted to read those' I knew the books were quite small, and so I knew whether good or bad I wouldn't be stuck reading it for days, one or two at the most. I knew that because I liked the show, I would clearly like where the story went. It only took me a few hours. Thankfully, I like books and their portrayed to tv show or film versions to be different. I mean, why watch or read something I've already experienced? I know other readers complain when they add things or remove characters and scenes, but seriously? How boring. I want a fresh look if it's adapted to film. I want new characters I've never seen, I don't mind if they look different to what they had, or they've knocked off characters who have one damn line!
Anyway. My only problem was, as I've seen the show, I kept seeing those characters, and not the pretty blonde ones in the book. But that's not on the book so I'm not degrading it for that! really great for preteens, maybe even just early teens as there's a little language, but we all know they swear and do the dirty these days anyway! Happy reading everyone!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I read this...and well...must then finish the series. But still, so many super creepy stat-rapey age inappropriateness.
