I enjoyed this book, even though I'd seen the show first so knew what happened. I enjoyed Lockhart's writing style a lot, especially the fairy tales and how overdramatic Cady was in her narrative. Made me feel like I was 17 again. I don't normally think this, but I'm glad I watched the show first, I think the reveal is better done visually. However I'd love to hear from anyone who read it first then watched, what they think.
