I could already tell I wasn’t gonna like it nearly as much as the Apple TV adaptation.

Made it 12 chapters. I think I like the show more.

This book is marketed as uplifting and funny but it is not. This book is dark and depressing with nothing approaching humor.

Don't read this expecting the TV series. It's the premise but very different - sort of family drama type

Cute characters, I enjoyed getting to know them but the story never picks up. It just stays the same until the end and doesn’t really go anywhere. The tv adaptation seems to do a better job on this. It’s still enjoyable
