You know you love me xoxo 4💋 such a nostalgic throwback! Makes me want to rewatch/finally finish the series.

Some noticeable difference from the show/things I found funny:

• all the characters smoke
• Dan is even more of a softboi!! 
• Vanessa is white, bald, has a heavy Brooklyn accent in the audiobook & is such a pick me girl it’s iconic 👩🏻‍🦲
• Everyone sees chuck for the literal sex pest he is and he has 0 friends
