This was fine lol I’ve never seen the musical but I really loved part 1 of the movie so I’ve been a little hyperfixated on the story so I wanted to read the book. While I’m glad I read this, I didn’t really love it 🤷🏻‍♀️ tbh it was pretty slow and there was a lot skimmed over yet not much was actually explained. I personally hate when stories leave a lot to interpretation, sometimes it works for me but it a rarity and it just didn’t work for me in this one! I’d much prefer a story where I’m not left with a million questions at the end 🤷🏻‍♀️ also the end just made me sad 😢
