I watched the show, loved it, and thought wow I wonder how different the book is...

It's like a completely different story. I don't even know how Netflix went "yeah this is close enough" because it's really not. The plot had some similar moments, but overall, it was completely different. Also, all the Walters are blonde? What?!

Personally, I liked aspects of the show more, but I did think the book made more sense than the show, and I did really enjoy it!

The writing was so easy to read that I blasted through it in just over 24 hours. It didn't even feel like effort

The characters were a lot more well-rounded as well. Cole, especially. And Isaac and Lee. And even Parker! 

Overall, I'd highly recommend people read this even if they've seen the show, just for the experience at least
