This took me way longer to finish than anticipated. (Lots has happened this week which hasn't allowed me much reading time.) However, I am a HUGE JatP fan! I've lost count of how many times I've seen the show.
At just 200 pages, this is a must have for any Julie and the Phantoms fan. From song lyrics, to full color photo inserts, this book brings the story to life! We get to see POVs from Julie, Flynn, Luke, Alex, Reggie, and Willie throughout the book and it gives a little more insight into what characters were thinking during some scenes.
The first half of the book was spot on to the show. I don't want to spoil anything in case you want to watch the show or read the book, but my favorite scene was missing and the last half felt a little rushed maybe? I realize that this is a novelization for young readers of a 9 episode show and not a complete transcript, but how could they not give us Luke's thoughts during Unsaid Emily??? Like, I'd KILL to know what exactly he was thinking in that moment. My only thought is it wasn't originally in the script. Which I know Perfect Harmony wasn't as Charlie and Madison wrote the song on set and pitched it to Kenny.
