A lot of the book was just a bunch of people sitting around and judging others…. And when I say a bunch, I mean a confusing amount of characters and names. To be fair, I don’t think it helped that I listened to the book, but still; so many characters and names.
I actually really liked the ending, and I applaud Rachel for being the badass she is.

and just as horrifying on the wealth hoarding
the book adds much more dimension than the movie (understandably so)

Having watched the film before reading the book, it was more noticeable where things had been rewritten or left out for the movie. I liked the book more though as you got a better understanding of who the characters are and why they behave certain ways. And of course, the missing scenes that were left out of the movie.
My favourite character was Astrid - I really rooted for her all the way through! With the way that everyone else in the family behaved, she came across as the only ‘normal’ person.
Eddie and Eleanor were the worst!! There was no actual need for their attitude - i’m glad their storylines worked out the way that they did!
I’m so looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
