This one took me a second to finish,I think I was a tad bored because I've watched some of the show already. And honestly this is one of the times I like the show/movie better than the book. Not saying the book is bad but I feel like the show kept a lot from the book but added so much more on top of it. There's characters in the show that aren't in the book, and they just make it so much better. They feel much deeper in the show and put together. I did like hearing her thoughts and everything but now I can see how limiting it is, to see things just from her perspective. The romance is basically the same though. Also some of the terminology is a little too outdated. I know the show is as well but the book definitely is. So I was a tad uncomfortable at times. The show definitely updated from the books and I actually would recommend just watching the show. I'm not sure if I'll continue reading the books as it's a long series but maybe if I can't think of anything else to read I'll continue.
