I wasn't planning on ever reading this book but I just finished season 2 of the TV show (which I liked! It's not perfect, but I really like the casting and enjoy watching it) and wanted to see if this would tie up any of the loose ends that would have been the focus of the next season, if not for the cancellation.

Operating under the assumption that the show and book would have carried the same plot twist/reveal, it technically did that? and the reveal was... a bit on the stupid side. When I say a bit, I mean really on the stupid side.

This whole book was kind of a rushed mess where nothing majorly happened? The mystery was boring, with next to no suspense. The ending was insanely convenient. Anything of consequence was either incredibly predictable or brushed over like it meant nothing.

The only thing I enjoyed were the characters and even then, I struggled. (Nate having an "Except for me, though, right?" response to someone saying all men are pigs was incredibly annoying.)

So... this wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, which is the only reason I'm rating it, but I still really didn't like it. Every time I read a book in this series I feel like I must be missing something because everyone else seems to think they're phenomenal and that is not my experience lol.

Overall, not very good, not terrible. A disappointing mystery but an easy read, especially if you have any affection for the original characters. I wouldn't say I recommend it, but I also wouldn't not recommend it.
