Review:
Did I need to buy this book? Nope
Should I have read this book? Mehh
Was it all that I wanted? Nopeeee
Okay so I do enjoy Riverdale, I do love some dark teen drama and let’s face it if you don’t like Jughead then we can’t be friends.
But I am actually wondering I got soo excited when I saw this and had to read it straight away!
Let’s face it is the day before the ‘first episode’ and you kind of want to know what it is like and how everything got built up but at the same time I could have purchased at least 6 coffees with the money that I spent on the book. Am I being dramatic? Hell na.
It was good to see from the different perspectives of our favourite characters and while the situations around them are similar and link in to the TV show, the writing of all the characters was the same. There was an insane amount of repetition when it swapped between the POV that you actually don’t feel as though it could be our characters that we love after all.
I miss those 6 coffees and the lives we could have had…
