Since I totally love the Netflix show, I just had to read this! And it definitely amused me, I enjoyed it. But the show is just a little better, but the book is also great! Such a powerful plot 👌🏻

I loved the TV show. The book dragged. I read this on and off over the course of a few years because I kept running into boring parts and then taking a break to read other books before coming back to it at a later date. It got kind of interesting toward the end. If you've seen season 1, then you already know everything that happens in this book. Not sure if I'll read the sequels...

Was expected more substance out of the MC. His thoughts was just sex, sex, sex. Even while he was killing another guy, he was thinking about sex with her. I wanted to like this book.

Very graphic tale from the POV of a stalker obsessed with a girl after a brief encounter. I watched the series so I knew how this obsession takes over and leads to violence. There is nothing redeeming about the character Joe. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the book, more like disturbed by its nature

I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  In January 2021, I kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children only reading when on holiday, having previously being an avid reader. A difficult disturbing read, dark, twisty and uncomfortable. Made me think but not in a good way. Its a  disturbing stalker and obsession based read.  Uncomfortable but well written
