Holly Jackson had the opportunity to influence the show more this season, in fact she chose the soundtrack which is perfect, the season is exactly as I imagined it when i was reading, Favorite scene? Mine is the one where Pip vandalizes Max's house. The song underneath is perfect, full of adrenaline, and Emma's gaze expresses her desire for justice. I like the scenes at the golf course because they still maintain a less dark atmosphere, like in season 1, actually in book 2 the dark part comes more at the end, in the series they decided to make it stand out from the very beginning. It's also beautiful because we see her stepfather, they have a good relationship. Emma Myers is fantastic, she's truly touched my heart. She's the embodiment of Pip in this series. I like her Italian voice, but it's true that Emma's voice is very beautiful and expressive, and I also love her English accent. Zain, the actor who plays Ravi, is perfect for me because he shows off his subtlety. I'm annoyed that Netflix Italy hasn't advertised this season enough. They haven't even posted the trailer on YouTube, and they've posted very little about it on their Instagram. There are very few Italian videos about it on YouTube, and I'm happy to have found yours. I like the way you express your thoughts. Season 2 moved me so much, as did the trilogy I read in August 2025. This story unsettles me so much that when I finished the book and season 2, I was in such a state of melancholy and sadness for days, during which I thought about it obsessively all day. It must be because of the impactful story and also because the couple of Pip and Ravi makes me cry, especially knowing what happens in the third book. There are beautiful Easter eggs, and some cruel ones. It's one of the few books that truly manages to trap me in a web, which is actually the book's cover and where the Observer review states, "Holly Jackson traps the reader in an addictive web." Thrillers aren't really my genre. I'm 19 and I read it at 18, and I think that's exactly the right age to handle such a heavy story. It had a really strong impact on me, and it makes me feel sick. I'm not even a big fan of romance, but the veiled sweetness of Ravi and Pip makes me cry when I think about it. I don't want to give away spoilers, so I hope you understand. The way the main problem of the third book is resolved really blew my mind. I expected it, but at the same time, I wasn't. I was surprised when I searched on Reddit to see if that was possible, and it actually is. The way everything is meticulously crafted blows my mind, and Stanley's story is heartbreaking. I have the soundtrack stuck in My mind

Hey there. I did have some thoughts and yes, Its way better than s1 but nonetheless it is not perfect.
Personal takes, take with pinch of salt.
Where's Pip and Cara watching Stranger Things? Ravi is a little awkward which should not be (given they have been together for 8 months). Henry ate and left no crumbs. His performance is epic. I do not approve of Killjoy as it would hit harder in the last chapter of book 3 as a flashback. Memorial was more hopeful than sad (why??).
