Quick Review

  • No need to have watched the show before reading
  • Love the cover art
  • I like the aesthetic of the black pages for every other chapter, but they are much harder to read
  • Cute ending
  • Would not read the next book in the series

In Depth Review

Overall I was a bit disappointed in this book, but still wanted to finish it. I felt like it did not have much of a plot and nothing exciting or interesting really happens until the end.

The story does give some more backstory and development of the characters from the television show from their point of view (I especially enjoyed Nick and Ambrose), but other than that I don’t feel there was much unique or new added to the story.

I did enjoy the way the story was told, the level of detail helps to give rich visuals. It was cute and a good read, but I was expecting more.
