this was a very comforting book for me - i read a chapter or two whenever i was anxious， and i fell in love with this show all over again。 there’s something comforting about knowing exactly what is coming next， exactly what each character will say， and be able to picture and hear them as they do。 i am so happy to own this book， and i know that i will read it again and again。

So I'm definitely out of the age bracket that this book is geared for， but after watching the show I wanted to see if the book answers any of the questions I had （It doesn't lol）。 The first half is pretty detailed， but around the halfway mark the details you're looking for are so sparse。 It's clear that the author was given very little to work with。 So much is just hand waved away in the latter half of the book。 The one thing that is interesting is that it's very clear from jump that Julie and L So I'm definitely out of the age bracket that this book is geared for， but after watching the show I wanted to see if the book answers any of the questions I had （It doesn't lol）。 The first half is pretty detailed， but around the halfway mark the details you're looking for are so sparse。 It's clear that the author was given very little to work with。 So much is just hand waved away in the latter half of the book。 The one thing that is interesting is that it's very clear from jump that Julie and Luke as there's a few extra details that let you know how each feels about the other。 Outside of that， stick with the show - there's more to be had there。 。。。more

Yo vi la serie primero y me encantó， es una serie que sin importar cuantas veces la leas siempre te vas a emocionar tanto como si fuera la primera vez que la ves。 El libro también me encantó es muy parecido a la serie， para mi lo único que le falto es representar un poco mas los sentimientos de los distintos personajes para que sea mucho mas emocionante y conectes mas con los diferentes personajes

Cute and wholesome book I read for a kid I’m tutoring。 Quick and fun read which is also great for younger people learning English。

A 200 page retelling of the 10 episode season is always going to be highly condensed， but this isn't a bad adaptation。 It hits all the major beats （pun intended）， and the changing viewpoints helps get inside the heads of the characters in ways that the show doesn't always manage， but it does lose a little of the impact because everything happens so fast。 I'd only really recommend reading this if you've already seen the show so you can relieve your favourite bits in a different format。 If you're A 200 page retelling of the 10 episode season is always going to be highly condensed， but this isn't a bad adaptation。 It hits all the major beats （pun intended）， and the changing viewpoints helps get inside the heads of the characters in ways that the show doesn't always manage， but it does lose a little of the impact because everything happens so fast。 I'd only really recommend reading this if you've already seen the show so you can relieve your favourite bits in a different format。 If you're looking to read this to entice you to watch the show， I don't think it'd be quite as successful - so just take it from me instead， you should definitely watch it！ 。。。more

As a pretty big fan of this Netflix show， when I heard about this book， I preordered it right away。 （Yes， I know it came out in December， and I'm just now reading it。。。 Don't look at me like that！）This was fun。 Didn't follow along with the show completely， but that's okay， because then hopefully more people will watch the show （which they absolutely should！）Loved getting more of my favorite characters， especially since a season 2 is nowhere in sight。 *SOBS* As a pretty big fan of this Netflix show， when I heard about this book， I preordered it right away。 （Yes， I know it came out in December， and I'm just now reading it。。。 Don't look at me like that！）This was fun。 Didn't follow along with the show completely， but that's okay， because then hopefully more people will watch the show （which they absolutely should！）Loved getting more of my favorite characters， especially since a season 2 is nowhere in sight。 *SOBS* 。。。more

A book you can hear。If you happen to stumble upon this review， planning to read the book and yet haven't seen the show。 I highly recommend to watch the show on Netflix first。 As much as I love that this contains multiple POVs， there's a lot of scenes that was in the series but not included in the book。 （The music obviously duh）。AND TO NETFLIX， JULIE AND THW PHANTOMS SEASON 2 WHEN？ A book you can hear。If you happen to stumble upon this review， planning to read the book and yet haven't seen the show。 I highly recommend to watch the show on Netflix first。 As much as I love that this contains multiple POVs， there's a lot of scenes that was in the series but not included in the book。 （The music obviously duh）。AND TO NETFLIX， JULIE AND THW PHANTOMS SEASON 2 WHEN？ 。。。more

Luego de haber visto la serie， necesitaba leer el libro y no me arrepiento de nada。 Todos necesitamos ver este lado de los chicos saber que ocurría en sus cabezas en algunas escenas。 Lo único que no me gusto es que esperaba con ansias la parte de "Unsaid Emily" y en el libro no sale al igual que "Edge of Great" queria saber que pensaba Luke en esos momentos。 Luego de haber visto la serie， necesitaba leer el libro y no me arrepiento de nada。 Todos necesitamos ver este lado de los chicos saber que ocurría en sus cabezas en algunas escenas。 Lo único que no me gusto es que esperaba con ansias la parte de "Unsaid Emily" y en el libro no sale al igual que "Edge of Great" queria saber que pensaba Luke en esos momentos。 。。。more

If you've been following me for a little longer now， you know that I'm one of the few people in the world preferring a book over Netflix。 I don't know what it is， but watching television rarely works as well as just reading a story。 A friend of mine was fangirling on Twitter over this series and I was getting curious and then I discovered that there was a novel version！ I ordered it right away and I was quite excited to get started。Let me start this review with saying that in every way possible If you've been following me for a little longer now， you know that I'm one of the few people in the world preferring a book over Netflix。 I don't know what it is， but watching television rarely works as well as just reading a story。 A friend of mine was fangirling on Twitter over this series and I was getting curious and then I discovered that there was a novel version！ I ordered it right away and I was quite excited to get started。Let me start this review with saying that in every way possible this story surprised me in the best way possible。 Maybe my expectations weren't that high， but this story had a little bit of everything。 It was exciting， it was funny and witty， it had some thrilling mysterious elements and it also managed to touch me and really made me tear up。 I of course can't say if the book does the series justice， but the book really worked for me at least！That's partly because Julie is an amazing character。 In this book we spend quite some time in her head， since the book seems to focus on her mostly， and I think it's almost impossible not to like her and not to root for her。 Julie didn't have an easy year and she has a hard time figuring out how to live again。 Her pain and struggles are shown really well in the beginning and therefore everything happening to her after has such a huge emotional impact。And of course there's the band。 I loved how the prologue gave us a great impression of everything that happened and although not everything is answered I liked how as a reader it was easy to connect the prologue with the rest of the story。 Since we also spend some time in the heads of the band I also connected with all the band members， although I didn't have the same intense click with them as the one I had with Julie。The ending also is perfect。 It's satisfying enough in case there won't be a next season， but open enough to leave room for there to be one。 I hope we get a sequel。 I want and need more！ 。。。more

3，3 / 5Tohle bylo zlaté。Určitě se nejedná o žádnou světobornou literaturu， která by ohromila nespočet lidí， ale jako příběh na oddych， útěk od reality a zasmání se， který zároveň nezabere příliš času， to postačí。Nad scénami jsem se usmívala a užívala si je。 Kladně hodnotím přepis písní v podobě krátkých textů， protože jsem si tím mohla soundtrack připomenout a zpívat si s postavami。 Kniha je protkaná slangem a odkazy na nynější umělce， což beru jako plus pro mladší čtenáře。 Knížku jako celek hod 3，3 / 5Tohle bylo zlaté。Určitě se nejedná o žádnou světobornou literaturu， která by ohromila nespočet lidí， ale jako příběh na oddych， útěk od reality a zasmání se， který zároveň nezabere příliš času， to postačí。Nad scénami jsem se usmívala a užívala si je。 Kladně hodnotím přepis písní v podobě krátkých textů， protože jsem si tím mohla soundtrack připomenout a zpívat si s postavami。 Kniha je protkaná slangem a odkazy na nynější umělce， což beru jako plus pro mladší čtenáře。 Knížku jako celek hodnotím kladně， přesto se přikláním k názoru， že by člověk rozhodně neměl mít velká očekávání。 Část hodnocení strhávám za chybějící scény a písně， postupně nabývající zestručňování vyprávění a za slibované nové pohledy na situace od jiných postav， kterých jsem se nakonec nedočkala。Znalost seriálu je v tomto případě výhodou。 。。。more

2，5 - 3 SterneLeider hielt das Buch keine Hintergrund- oder Bonusinfos bereit， wie es versprochen wurde。 😓Im Gegenteil tolle Szenen， wie die Performance von "Great"， wurden komplett weggelassen。Weiterhin hatte ich mir erhofft， mehr Kapitel aus Lukes Sicht lesen zu können und mehr über seine Gefühle zu erfahren。Man hätte definitiv mehr aus dem Buch machen können。Aber für alle Fans von JatP auf jeden Fall ein Muss und nachdem ich ein Verbot für die Serie bekommen habe， konnte ich so noch einmal in 2，5 - 3 SterneLeider hielt das Buch keine Hintergrund- oder Bonusinfos bereit， wie es versprochen wurde。 😓Im Gegenteil tolle Szenen， wie die Performance von "Great"， wurden komplett weggelassen。Weiterhin hatte ich mir erhofft， mehr Kapitel aus Lukes Sicht lesen zu können und mehr über seine Gefühle zu erfahren。Man hätte definitiv mehr aus dem Buch machen können。Aber für alle Fans von JatP auf jeden Fall ein Muss und nachdem ich ein Verbot für die Serie bekommen habe， konnte ich so noch einmal in die Geschichte eintauchen 😜😅Und nun wird es endlich Zeit， dass die Staffel 2 erscheint 。。。。。 Jetzt！！！ 😍😍😍 。。。more

I only gave it a 3 stars because the show is great， I was disappointed with the novelization but I have to be honest that that's mostly because the cuts they made from the show， some of which are downright unforgivable。 If you want to read this at least watch the show it's where the charm is of this story。 In my opinion ofcourse I only gave it a 3 stars because the show is great， I was disappointed with the novelization but I have to be honest that that's mostly because the cuts they made from the show， some of which are downright unforgivable。 If you want to read this at least watch the show it's where the charm is of this story。 In my opinion ofcourse 。。。more

Für jeden Fan der Serie ein Must-Read。 Jedoch gibt es nur knapp drei Sterne， da nichts Neues passiert ist bzw。 keine tieferen Details zu Szenen vorhanden waren， was ich persönlich sehr schade fand。 Die Szenen und Dialoge gleichen denen der Serie。 Teilweise wurden sogar wirklich schöne und auch wichtige Schlüsselszenen komplett rausgelassen。 Lieder bzw。 Szenen von „Edge of Great“ oder „Unsaid Emily“ wurde weg gelassen。 Hintergrundinformationen zu Caleb und seinen Machenschaften wurden weg gelasse Für jeden Fan der Serie ein Must-Read。 Jedoch gibt es nur knapp drei Sterne， da nichts Neues passiert ist bzw。 keine tieferen Details zu Szenen vorhanden waren， was ich persönlich sehr schade fand。 Die Szenen und Dialoge gleichen denen der Serie。 Teilweise wurden sogar wirklich schöne und auch wichtige Schlüsselszenen komplett rausgelassen。 Lieder bzw。 Szenen von „Edge of Great“ oder „Unsaid Emily“ wurde weg gelassen。 Hintergrundinformationen zu Caleb und seinen Machenschaften wurden weg gelassen。 Was ich jedoch sehr schön fand， um auch mal auf die positiven Seiten zu kommen， waren die verschiedenen Sichten der Charakter。 Das Buch war teilweise aus Julies Sicht geschrieben。 Dann gab es auch noch Kapitel aus Lukes， Alex‘ und Flynns Sicht。 Es war interessant， die Gedankengänge dieser Figuren kennenzulernen。 Alles in einem war dieses Buch definitiv kein Highlight。 Die Serie wird immer einen Platz in meinem Herzen haben。 Das Buch ist jedoch eine ziemlich genau Wiedergabe der Serie， von daher bleibt es bei den drei Sternen。Aber trotzdem kann ich es allen JATP Fand empfehlen。 💜👻 。。。more

so。。。。 i’m a huge fan of the show and hoped this book would give us new and cute content， but it didn’t。 it was almost word for word the show， and it completely skipped some moments （including my favorite！）。i didn’t want to rate it so low because maybe i’m not the younger target it was written for， but i think that it’s not even a good novelization。 i don’t think someone who hasn’t watched the show would even understand the book。 too bad！

I actually like the book， I know that some say that it is the same as the series because if in a large part it is， but the same if it has something different， I really had a lot of fun reading it from the point of view of each。 I mean it’s obvious that I liked because the serie is one of my favorites
