I enjoyed the story and its twists and turns but I have already watched the show. So, I knew what to expected. I remember when this book recently came out and I was interested in reading it because it was written in second person. At the end of the day, the whole first season of the show was the first book in this series. I found it very entertaining but I enjoyed the show a bit more. As I was reading, I watched the scenes play out in my head with the same actors as the show and it was entertaining. The only reasons why I don't give it a five star is because I thought the writing was going to be a bit more complex and I'm not obsessed enough with the story or characters in this format. It is the first in a series so I understand that point. I most likely won't be continuing with the books but I don't regret my time reading the first one.
