IT'S DAVE FRANCO! <3 Anyway, since I did not know that Nerve was adapted, I have to say that, I did not expect that from the book, the movie was good for me, I was expecting the same way for the book, and it's clear it's a meh.

I have also heard that the movie was better than the book (which, it sounds like it almost has to be haha) so maybe I will give it a shot and bypass the book altogether. The world building (or lack thereof) would drive me nuts, especially in a book where I think it is extra important! Great review, sorry it didn't work out so well for you!
