Had to give it a read after the TV show but it felt like a bit of a slog.

Much slower than anticipated and very introspective. Struggled a bit to get through and found it quite easy to forget about for a few weeks.

An easy read, and generally quite good, but not one I’d come back to.

Was this 275 pages of literally no plot and all vibes? Yes.
Did I read it in literally 2 day and enjoy it much more than expected? Also yes.
This book had honestly no plot besides “omg Jeremiah” straight to “omg Conrad” and then randomly “omg cam” and Belly honestly made me mad. I will be continuing the series and probably watch the show.
