Pure garbage. I’ve been bullied into rewatching the show (that’s okay tbh) and also into reading the books to ~compare~. I knew it would be bad, but oh my lord this was TERRIBLE! I mean, I guess it was short and I read it in less than a day? 

The writing is bad and the plot is ridiculous (but we already knew that lol). The fat shaming is hard to read and omg, the underage relationships…it’s bad in the show, but it’s so much worse in the books when I can’t just pretend they’re older because the actresses are. Will I keep reading these? Idk, only time will tell. -A
