I did find this book alright to read, there were some moments I didn't enjoy but at least it showed that a relationship between a high school student and a teacher is NOT normal (Unlike the show which had Aria marry her groomer/teacher but anyways)
There are parts of this book that is similar to the show and overall, I think it was an alright book.
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Bullying, and Death

This book is very neck and neck with the show so if you were a fan of the show then I would recommend this. However, I will say that there are A LOT of outdated mentions in this and some painfully and awkwardly poor choice of dialogue.

Positives: the "popcorn" read-ability - these are so quick and fun! I also enjoy the POV switches.
The not-so-great aspects: the writing is very juvenile (it reads more like a pre-teen book to me, and not reflective of the age of the characters, if that makes sense). this is DEFINITELY a product of its time: the way more serious topics are discussed so flippantly rubs me the wrong way at times (i.e. eating disorders, age-gap relationships)
Although my thoughts have remained the same, I am excited to see where this series goes!
