Me and my boyfriend read this together because we really like the TV series. However, this was just not the same. I found it so cringy rather than ‘sexy’ or ‘smart’ or tense in any way. I get he’s supposed to be a psycho but i just found it so hard to read. Joe from the Netflix series seemed so much more intelligent and calculated and I think we’re supposed to have a struggle between liking Joe and knowing he’s actually an awful human but in the book I just didn’t like him at all. Gutted because I love the series!
