After watching the TV show for a while, I've started to not like it too much, so picking p the books seemed like the next step. Now, I have to say that the only similarities between the two are how cheesy the first installments are.

Most of the characters have different personalities and all around different lives from the TV show. Only a few have the same relationships as well. I definitely enjoyed playing spot the difference while reading this, and in the end, I was pretty entertained and will definitely go onto the next.

The only warning I feel like I should give you going into this is how annoying basically all of the characters are. I'm definitely not totally invested into them as I originally was with the story, but it's still entertaining.
