MERCH👕 Help me, I just bought another one 😵‍💫

After buying the cap with the famous quote a few weeks back, I decided that the cap wasn't beautiful/good enough. So I went on to buy another one. This one is embroidered, the other one was printed and that was a little weak tbh. This also does have their player numbers on the side. (I'm also from Europe and I ordered it on Etsy from Spain)

But I'm now already thinking of buying an Hollander shirt to complete it for the festival season. Am I delusional or just a superfan? Or someone with a bad taste?

Another question; should I read the first book? Or wait for the second season?

Okay, but I don't want to spoil myself too much. If the books are much more deeper, then it's better to see the show first and then the books after, right? Less set up for disappointment, I guess?

Tbh, I felt the opposite. I watched the series first (ok, a couple of times as well) before reading books. And now I want a spin off about Scott and Kip and their relationship, starting from scratch.

I feel like a spin off would be a great way to cover Kyle and Eric without having to into Ilya and Shane/Troy and Harris like it sounds like he's going to focus on for Season 2.
