Firstly, I have no idea if this books works for somebody who knows nothing about Life is Strange and hasn't played the games. But I am a big fan of the games and Steph is one of my favourite characters. So of course this is for me.
This bridges Steph's time after Arcadia Bay (we saw her first in Before the Storm as a side character) and tells the story of her life in Seattle and how she eventually ends up in Haven Springs. There she is a main character for Life is Strange: True Colors. Fans of the game roughly know what happened in that time, but it is nice to have it told this way. And when we do get to Haven Springs it felt very nostalgic for me, since I know that little town and its people quite well.
I chose the audio book, since Katy Bentz reads it. She voiced Steph in the games, so this is the perfect fit.

Thor really knows the Life is Strange universe and did a beautiful job with Steph’s story. Showing us the time between college and making it to Havens Springs, we get to watch Steph really figure out who she is. Through her up’s, downs, mistakes, happiness, depression and so much more. There are surprise guests from the LIS universe as well that I absolutely loved seeing and added such a great touch to the story.
At times this book is difficult to read because Steph is going through such a pivotal moment in her life where she is really figuring out what she wants, that she doesn’t treat the people in her life the best. Especially her friends and girlfriend. To be fair her and her (JEWISH & TRANS) girlfriend Izzie don’t really treat each other well, but that is a part of the entire plot line of her getting to Havens.
Being an avid fan of Life is Strange since the first game came out in 2015, I really appreciated the time and care Thor took with Steph’s story.
