I loved this book about as much as I love the show, which I saw first. I'd love to see a break down of all the differences between the two. The show seemed to end on a more positive note, but I respect the book for being a bit more sobering.
I love how all of the characters and narratives are intertwined and the possibility that one person and their art could effect so many people in such a way. The show made the line "I remember damage" such a big deal that i was amazing it wasn't in the book at all lmao. (unless I'm forgetting it) I read this book over the course of 6 months or something because I'm bad at reading.
