I really went back and forth on my rating for this book so many times. I love the show, and I knew the book would be different, but I felt it was different in worse ways. It started off really good but the last few chapters really put a bad taste in my mouth. Simon’s insane anger was the start of it and the cheesiness of the last chapters was too much for me. But the SA scene really ruined this book for me. I felt like it was just brushed over and the severity of it wasn’t discussed properly. I’m hoping the rest of the series is better and doesn’t use SA as a plot device.

If you skip THAT chapter (chapter 17) it’s actually a really enjoyable book.
