Loved this one. Watched the show years ago when it came out so I had mostly forgotten the twists. Characters are so loveable while being flawed in a relatable way.

I enjoyed the the way the book was written (short chapters, different points of views, statements) and found the main characters likeable.

I couldn't figure out <who died or who did it> throughout the book. It was a nice surprise to not have a good idea until the reveal.
