I think this is an instance where the visual adaption is better than the source material. The characters are too unlikeable in the book, in my opinion, to merit reading it when you can watch the show - which at least makes the characters endearing.

As a thriller fan and a feminist, I loved this debut! There are some major trigger warnings, so I don’t think this will be for everyone depending on where you’re at in your healing journey. However, I think it was thoughtfully written and definitely helps combat our society’s tendency to victim blame.
