I first watched the TV show (which spurred me to then read the book) and this was no disappointment! I liked it a lot and I enjoyed the notable differences and added depth that came with the book!

WHAT! Plot twist after plot twist after frickin plot twist.

I originally only got halfway through this. I restarted it and read it in a day. SO GOOD. What else needs to be said?

I don't typically read a lot of YA stories/stories with high school aged main characters, so I was worried this wouldn't keep my attention but I listened to the audiobook and think it was a great listen. The story flowed very nicely, not too fast or slow, there were a lot of clues to think about, and I couldn't help but love the main characters. Can't wait to read the next ones in the series and try to watch the tv series!
