I was going to give this book 3.75 stars. However, I happened to read it beside my buddy Alex. 
He said, "3.75??!! You were giggling and kicking your feet the entire time!"
Which come to think of it. He was right.

Excuse my rambling, but I feel Harry was done justice in the books rather than the Netflix show.


He stuck up for Nick and Charlie during the Paris trip, and Nick asking "Did Harry just try to defend us?" 
He apologized at the party rather than the movie theater to Charlie.


To me, that seems a lot more organized than the shows way of putting it. 

People are angry about Ben getting written out of the show in season 3. Bestie. He got written out of Volume 1 in the books. What do you mean?


Alice Oseman did a really good job introducing a threatening character. 
If that's the person that made the illustrations instead of the books. 
They made it so you were scared of Nick's brother showing up out of nowhere.


Nick's dad was introduced, but I don't think in the show he was fully French? 
* I'm not complaining. If anything, I like that idea rather than him being English completely*


Although! I haven't seen season two, so I wouldn't have any idea how his dad acts. 

I understand that books, movies, and shows are completely different! But it's fun to point this stuff out and see what's "correct" and what's not!
