I was a huge fan of the series, Julie and the Phantoms, when it was released on Netflix back in 2020, enjoying the teen drama exceptionally. I remember being heartbroken on learning that it got canceled after the first season. Thus, the book(s), to me are a way to live the series without watching the series.
The book was perfectly written, preserving the original high school drama style and tone of the series, which paired beautifully with the concept.
I loved how well the characters were written, initially being very worried about it. My babies, Willie and Alex are just as cute as ever. I know it's exactly what happened in the series, but I was hoping for something more in the book- something to keep their unsubtly cut budding romance going on. It was a long shot, but a guy can hope, right?
Suffice to say, author has totally done full justice to the series by encapsulating the spirit of the series in this funny and emotional book.
