I really loved this, specially the ending. I love how the author, even with the fact that the main character is a white woman, she tried to make this intersectional (even tho when it comes to that kind of representation, the movie was better in my opinion) specially in the second half. I loved the character development specially in the main character Viv and her best friend Claudia.
as I said, the representation, in my opinion, was better in the movie but it still had some representation which I really appreciated.
also, I have to say: movie Seth Acosta >>>> book Seth Acosta.
but I still really liked him (even tho he pissed me off sometimes, he had character development in the end).
so yeah... I really liked this. I also recommend the movie. it's on Netflix.
