I’m only rounding up bc ✨TVD✨
I was soooo excited when this went on sale and I finally bought it. I absolutely love the show, it’s my comfort show and I can watch the first 6/7 seasons over and over.
… this book was nothing like the show.
First off, I hate third person books. I hate reading them, I can’t explain it, I just do.
Secondly, I did not realize elena could get ANYMORE annoying istg. She was worse in the book than in the show, which is completely shocking bc she was terrible in the show. In the book she’s an extreme pick me girl, completely self centered, entitled, and full of herself. She’s also aware she is all of these things. At least in the show she didn’t realize she was the problem and actually thought she was the victim lmao
Third, idk I just think watching the show first ruined the books because characters I liked from the show didn’t exist in the books and characters I liked in the books didn’t exist in the shows.
Overall, unless you finish your TBR and they’re .50 at a thrift store, don’t waste your time. No matter how much a fan you are of the show.

"How is it possible I hate Elena even more in the books than I do in the tv series.
Not gonna lie, I think this is the ONE time I’ve ever thought the tv/movie remake of a book was better than the actual book"
