Title Dare You to Death Spoiler
I definetly like the book ending a lot better, it showed the effects all that happened left especially on Jay. First of all, in the book he was not an accesory to the sexual assault of pufai as is insinuated here, he finds out after it happens but doesn't do anything about it and stays friends with them..His biggest sin apart from sleeping with a drunk pufai was not reporting any of his friends crime and condoning it; but knowing you friend is going to get sexually asaulted by another friend as part of a plan for a third friend to step in and win her over and doing nothing about it makes him an accesory to the crime and it is disgusting not to mention highly immoral so I m not sure why they chose to twist it like that. He's excuse that he was scared and didn't know what to do had me shaking my head and screaming at the tv like dude, your brother is a cop and a semi decent police captain at that. If there was anyone in that group who could have stopped this tragedy, it would be you. He wasn't corrupt and had the resource(his brother) to stop his so called friends but chose to be a bystander to all their crimes and that makes him just as guilty. Also ending jays arc with him smiling as Kamin and Jade leaves his room is definetly a choice. In the book, Jay's ending is a lot more intresting and meaningful. He is so distraught and riddled with guilt about all that happened that he can't sleep at night. He wakes up in the middle of the night screaming from his nightmares that Jade and karmin have to take turns calming him down every night. Jade is worried out of his mind as he should be and Kamin is trying to help as best as he can. Eventually Jay chooses to check himself into a mental hospital for help, which I believe is the wisest and smartest choice he made in the whole book. I wish they showed us this part too instead of the ladidadi, everything is okay now ending they gave him. I was so dissapointed they didn't show that. Just spent the rest of the episode on a vacation I honestly didn't ask for. I was honestly so upset with them choosing to leave that part out that I started skipping through the whole vacation part and by the time it ended, I just felt so bland. Nothing deep, nothing lasting, no lesson, just bland. I know the show wasn't the best but that was the most dissapointing part for me. They removed the little tidbits that could have made this show a little more something and left us with the bland.
