Short read.
The show is better by miles but this was also interesting to read. I wouldn't recommend anyone reading this as a standalone because I'm afraid the characters didn't stick as much, asides from Eve and Villanelle.
It was exciting to see more from Villanelle's pov though, and there's a lot more detail for her jobs than in the show—where it's a bit more mysterious.
A lot of sex which is eh.
Overall, this was a lot more plot driven, and handed to the reader on a plate, while in the show it flows more interestingly. I don't mean to compare too much though and the book was okay on its own.
