1.0

So I bought this book the other day in hopes of gaining more from the show.
However, it just gave me a diary of the wimpy kid (the art style), but perhaps young adult?
Not only that, I left this book with just mediocre thoughts.

Okay, okay, I get it, guys. She decided to kill herself at the end as if it were the best and easiest of all options. But seriously, can we talk about the pedophilia in this book as well?

I am, in fact, *okay* with this book. But I'd be better off not reading it.
The show is better. Seriously, don't waste your time, and thank me later.

As a fan of the Netflix show, I came in with expectations that were completely disappointed. This story is dark in ways I'd say are unnecessary and pointless. There's not much of a plot besides Sydney being a jerk to everyone and killing people. There's no real backstory to her powers or personality or anything. The lessons and takeaways at the end are harmful, and the queer representation doesn't add much.

I'd vote skip this if you're on the fence about it.

I didn't enjoy this graphic novel. The whole story feels underdeveloped and disjointed, and I forgot entirely that it was following the main character's journal so the author didn't make good use of that idea. It felt like this was just too focused on being edgy and shocking and forgot to do the rest of the story building. There's also a lot of unconsensual kissing in this.

I think I wasn't as disappointed by this as some other people because I didn't watch the Netflix show. 
There were things I liked about it but mostly I think it was too fast paced for me to truly care about the plot or the characters.
