I think I actually prefer their relationship in the books. It did feel a little too fast paced for me though. I still love their relationship but it felt a little unbelievable at times.

Loved the characters but confused with the book vs film as seems quite different. Was really easy and fun to listen to the audiobook. Can’t wait to continue the series and programme.

This has been the most enjoyable of the series so far, but it did get a bit tedious with the second epilogue. I've found while reading the series there are two things that bother me, which I haven't commented on as I haven't written reviews for the others. But, as this was quite enjoyable assuming you're a fan of the genre and don't mind repetitive vocabulary often found in YA, I want to note them:
1.) Quinn frequently has repetitive passages where the characters are reflecting even though NOTHING has changed since the last such passage, their thoughts and opinions included. I'm not sure if this is to lengthen the works or just a lack of trust in the reader to remember.
2.) Quinn has an almost adolescent understanding of anger and physical intimacy. Annoyance to blind rage is always met with the same imagery of wishful violence. And after 4 "loss of innocence" scenes, she still seems to fall back on the same tropes of misinformation that plague the straight teenage boy population. While I can allow that the understanding is probably accurate for the era, the description of sensations felt by the characters and physical evidence wouldn't be. In short: Girl needs to pickup a copy of The Vagina Bible.
