This was such a fun and short read! I loved this movie growing up so it was so fun to finally read it! I’m excited to read the next books in this series and see more than what was filmed!

I wanted to read this after enjoying the movie and for once the movie is as good as the book. There were a few changes in characters, whether relations to each other or their backstory. The plot is almost entirely the same, but now you get more information on stuff that will happen or is happening that a movie could not tell you.

I never would have picked up this book if it wasn’t part of a reading challenge. I wish it had stayed that way. For 400 pages, a whole lot of nothing happened.

This entire book was nothing but world building. Yet I loved it. It had darker parts that I had to push through but I still very much enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading the next one now that the world is fully developed

I just finished this! Not my usual type of read, I read this as part of a challenge to read my least read genre (mystery). I watched the movie years ago and barely remember the story, but the book is definitely better. I remember the movie being almost completely from Amy’s point of view, yet the book until past the halfway point is almost completely all from Nick’s point of view. You get such in depth details about the characters and the inner workings of their minds. I’m mostly taking a star off my rating as the book felt like it could have been 100-200 pages shorter and still been exactly the same.

I wanted to enjoy this book, the beginning was very promising. However the ending left me very unsatisfied and disappointed in the author.
