This book was beautifully written and difficult to put down. The Netflix series was pretty true to the book and I feel like most of the changes they made were for the better considering Beth’s age throughout the story.
I definitely did not expect there to be sexual assault between two minors in the first 15 pages. It was about a page and a half.
