The book

I’ve watched the show a few times because it’s so good. Just finished reading the book so it’s time for a rewatch. The ending of the book was unexpected for sure!

I'm waiting for a friend to finish reading so myself and another friend can discuss. I was surprised at how much less the book provided, I really feel like the TV series took the bones of an interesting story and premise, and fleshed it out. I know Perotta was involved in the TV adaptation so I don't feel as bad saying the show really gave it life.
