Some characters’ motivations for moving forward felt a little on the flimsy side but overall it was fine.
If you’ve watched the TV series: the first season is pretty accurate in terms of following the book content. You just get some more insight into the characters reasonings in the book. And the book doesn’t have any on-page sex - that was just added to the TV series.
