Okay wow.... If I had read this before watching the series I would have never seen the series... Veronica and Archie are the worst kind of people. What even....

The day before is a prequel of the TV show Riverdale. It takes place in the summer before season 1.
This book is written through the eyes of the 4 main characters from the show: Archie, Betty, Jughead and Veronica. I really liked this concept in this book, because it gives you the chance to read about the same events through different perspectives. It made me feel sympathy for Jughead and Veronica.
In this book I thought Archie was an ass. Form his relationship with a certain older person (no spoilers), too the way he treats his friend. No, I still don't like him

This was enjoyable! It is a prequel to the CW tv show and if you haven’t watched it, you’ll be spoiled. It was nice to see all the characters again!

I was so excited to read this book! It’s super fast-paced. I read most of it in one sitting!
Each chapter is narrated by a different character, either Archie, Jughead, Betty, or Veronica. This story takes place the day before the Riverdale TV series begins. That means that Betty is in LA doing an internship (which I don’t remember being in the show) and Veronica is in New York City, because she hasn’t moved to Riverdale yet. Archie and Jughead are in Riverdale, but they have drifted apart.
This story does some foreshadowing for what’s to come in the series. Though there is the mystery of the murder that happens at end of the book, fans of the show will already know what happened. Between chapters, there were other forms of narratives, such as texts and emails between other characters.
I loved this book! It is a must read for fans of Riverdale!

I was so excited about reading this book because I absolutely love the series, but as much as I wanted to love this book, alas I was highly disappointed.

A fun sick day read. Solid 3.5 stars. What can I say, I’m trash for Riverdale?
