It's definitely a very easy, leisurely read but I just felt like something was missing. I know the Netflix adaption is very different plot-wise but the show is getting a second season and I feel that perhaps the book could use a follow-up as well. I want to clarify that I did enjoy reading it, I just feel like something was missing or just off about it and I would have liked to have seen more character development from all three in the main character trio and for some of the "side" characters as well.

Content Warnings

Minor: Death, Incest, Grief, Death of parent

There are pretty significant differences in the book as compared to the popular Netflix adaptation. The tea pot doesn't exist in the book. Also, from what I remember of the show, there are scenes that were with Alex actually occur with Cole and vise versa.
