As a fan of the Netflix show, I came in with expectations that were completely disappointed. This story is dark in ways I'd say are unnecessary and pointless. There's not much of a plot besides Sydney being a jerk to everyone and killing people. There's no real backstory to her powers or personality or anything. The lessons and takeaways at the end are harmful, and the queer representation doesn't add much.

I'd vote skip this if you're on the fence about it.

characters - 

illustrations - .5⭐️

effective storytelling - ⭐️

engaging to read - 

would recommend - 

very flat and lacking depth. storytelling feels half finished. problematic portrayals of queerness, teenage girls, and suicide. the show is way better.

tbh I don’t know how I feel about this book LOL. Not what I expected at all, i loved the show when it came out so much so checked this out and it was so much crazier than I could imagine. Still pretty cool but so sad.
