Watched the show before reading the book, and have to say I loved the book. I devoured it. Would give this 10 stars if I could

I loved this book! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a book that I couldn’t put down, I finished it in less than two days. I loved the way the author wrote, captivated my attention. I don’t usually read science fiction but this was so good! I didn’t give it 5 stars bc the grammar wasn’t perfect & there were some spelling mistakes which drive me wild in books. This is a great book to get you into sci-fi

Definitely not worth the hype. Feels like another straight man telling me what I’m doing wrong. Not worth the read

I’d recommend listening to the audiobook over reading the book. It’s good and falls in line with the show.

I enjoyed the book better than the show (obvi) and it’s nice to be inside June’s head. Really love Margaret Atwood’s writing in general.

Really good! Was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Danny speaks from the heart but is also brutally honest about how embarrassing being pre pubescent can be.
