I liked this book explored Simon’s stutter much more. I thought it was more emotional that way

Loved the humor and light hearted nature of this book. I was happy that I watch the tv series beforehand because it made me love it even more! However I really didn’t like how Simon talked about Daphne like she was his property… I know that’s how it was like back in the day but I still didn’t like it very much. Same thing goes for when Daphne forced herself on Simon and forced his consent for an action he didn’t want to do. I know it’s later explained that that wasn’t her intention but still that didn’t sit right for me.

I read this book because I loved the show on Netflix. In some ways there are many facets of the book I prefer over the show. But I do have issues with some of the choices the heroine and her counterpart make. Consent, while something not cared about enough in history, is so important. It was completely disregarded in a few spots in the book and left a bad taste in my mouth which is the reasoning behind the 3 star review.
