ngl, very underwhelming. After watching the show and absolutely falling in love with Villanelle, I was so ready to get more content of the loml. Overall, the plot fell flat, the characterisation was practically nonexistant, and I was in no way compelled by the writing style. Also, whoever gave this white man permission to write lesbian sex should be fired.  Teenage fanfic writers do better on the daily :/

okay so, I love the show and since I love reading I thought I should try these books. Going into it I read a bunch of reviews and people said the first one sucked and the other two are much better and honestly this book was pretty boring and hard to follow 😭. I liked it more towards the middle of it but honestly it was hard to read. This book is soooo different from the show, but I’m excited to see what the next two have in store. I didn’t hate it though! It’s very interesting to read these after watching the show cause they are two totally different things most of the time.
