Okay. So. Started watching the Hulu series before reading the book, because hey why not watch it and skip reading the book. Started out great, right? Thought hey I might like this book. Started reading. Continued watching the Hulu series and very quickly realized 'Wow, I am really frustrated with these main characters and the toxic relationship/lack of communication going on here.'

But. I think I'm going to try reading it again. Except this time I'm not going into it expecting a love story, because wow that set me up for major disappointment and frustration. Because I think maybe Rooney is a brilliant writer and maybe it's a story worth reading.
