As a big fan of the show I loved getting to listen to the audiobook version. Joe is somehow even worse in the book than in the Netflix show which shocked me a bit because I didn't realize he could get any worse lol. I look forward to reading more of the series.

I watched the series before reading this and I'm quite disappointed. Narratively it isn't (as) interesting or refined, in my opinion, and I found reading the extremely misogynistic stream of consciousness of the main character not appealing in the slightest. I don't like how the characters or their storylines are written, especially when it comes to the women, and I get why the screenwriters felt like they needed to add and change so much for the adaptation. Many clever turns, references, tensions, nuances in the series... turn out to not exist in the original material.

i am actually shocked by how much i enjoyed this book. i started it randomly, but throughout my read i kept thinking, "damn, i wish i could write like this." Kepnes did such an amazing job being inside the mind of someone with so many issues, someone so delusional. i actually cracked up out loud at several of the moments in the book, especially ones when Joe got worried about the "weirdos" who might be able to look into Beck's curtain-less windows. like sir....you're the weirdo!!! up until the very end he really thought Beck was trynna be with him...it was laughable, truly. the whole book was honestly hilarious. i'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series, and watching the show!

one note – i'm sure this wasn't intentional, and it could also be because Joe is an unreliable narrator, but some of the depictions of Peach give me predatory lesbian vibes and i didn't love that.
