If you loved this show...

You may love this book!

We've had a few discussions concerning various aspects of book-to-screen adaptations. However, an article from The Guardian puts a different twist on that: books to read if you loved a certain show. Or as the blurb says: 

Want to watch less and read more this summer? Let your favourite series be a guide to clever, funny, moving titles you won’t be able to put down

Are any of your fave shows on this list? Does the recommended book appeal to you?

The SC pair could be good, but I'd like to know more. What I personally loved about the show was its strong family and found family themes, and having a queer relationship front and center. I'd love more of that. (I actually find a lot of SC comparisons miss the importance of queer relationships entirely.)

For what it's worth, I would recommend Red, White & Royal Blue. It's primarily a queer romance, but also features a flawed family and found family.

The Derry Girls one... it's about The Troubles, but seems to take a much darker approach, going by the description.
