"I thought the book and the series was good there were some differences, but nothing major. Im looking forward to the next season. "

"Cant stand the tween main character; kind of a whiny brat. Painfully heteronormative and strongly gendered; makes me think of the toxic saying “Boys will be boys”. I could not relate to any of these characters except the one that was cast as “the dork” 🤷♀️
Is this what being a teen girl was actually like for some people??? YIKES.
I was mildly bothered and mystified by this book for hours after finishing it. Even though it didn’t really “wrap up” … it just ended and I was ???? I had a hard time knowing if the main character was 11 or 16 or what time frame the author was in. Guess being skinny and having boobs means “You’re pretty” according to this author? "
