So I don't think I can give this book a star rating as I am a huge fan of the show and this makes it hard to judge this book on its own merits. To be honest, I found it hard to really enjoy this book. All of the characters felt like pale shadows of their representations on the show, the writing was repetitive (she said artlessly), and the plot felt unnecessarily convoluted. Maybe if I had never seen the show I would have loved this book, maybe not.
