    Going to check out the saving eve fanfic based on your suggestion. The series finale was so dissapointing that I've been looking for alternate endings (first place i looked was the books which is why I clicked on this vid).

    I've read the 1st two books which started out as digital novellas and I quite like them as their own entity. The differences between Eve & Villanelle in the book and the series is the fun part.

    I've never heard of this show but the moment you said it was gay, I put it on my radar. I'll skip the books but I'll watch the tv show 😂

    Well, now I know I have to watch "Killing Eve." Not sure about the books, but . . .
  • The third book is written in the first person by Eve. She's thinking back on the shit show they had just lived through. Luke Jennings didn't want to make a continuing series out of these two women and their cat and mouse antics so he chose to close it out as a memory of Eve's. Well, he couldn't have made a series anyway. The first two books were putting these two women on a crash course and there was a definite ending coming. The third was clunky. Yes, Oksana was mean to Eve but that is because she was in a vulnerable place within herself that she didn't understand. The controller wasn't in control of herself when it came to Eve. The happy ending may have been too milk toast for many or most but not for me. I am so tired of same sex stories always having a tragic ending I was relieved and exhaled when they actually got to live together and be a couple and have love. I didn't really think they would. I thought Oksana was killed and had to force myself to keep listening. Thank God I did. And that's another thing. I listened to the books. Books 2 and 3 are read by Lucy Patterson and i love how she reads. She has perfect inflection and does great with the accents.I think it enabled me to have a different experience with the books. So, it was a weird book but I loved the happy ending. It's not the happy ending I would have pictured for the two but at least they didn't break up and they both lived!. Yea!

    Iˋve read it after I saw the whole show. Because I didn´t like the show end. Im not shure that the book end is realistic for it. But I would have preferred an open ending on the show.
  • @livforreading
    have I seen the show? No. Will I proceed to watch this entire video? Yes bc it’s you! (Also I will now Watch the show lol)
  • As a general rule I can't be bothered with tv, but I love this show, I'm disappointed to hear that the last book doesn't live up to the show.
  • @revyblue6970
    Was it worth it? I'm planning to buy it (for some gay content in my life lol)
