I found the plot of this book to be slightly boring, mostly because I knew all of it from the tv show (yes I watched the show first, don't come for me) but I think that once I get to the books that the show didn't get the chance to adapt I won't have that problem. I love these characters and their chaotic dynamic so much. this is a series I will eagerly be continuing.

my only complaint, is that I wasn't a fan of the fatphobia. it was so uneeded and made the whole story feel weird.
