Adding in - if you watch the first season of the Amazon show, it’s pretty accurate to the books. The second season went off the rails a bit, but the recent season was alright (other than Anthony Michael Hall being a pretty one dimensional actor).

If that’s the reason why, I would skip it. They don’t spend a lot of time on it. Plus, in the early books there’s some unnecessary cringe parts where they felt the need to shoehorn “love interest” into the story. In general, they’re decent “boss battle” books. Easy reads that aren’t going to make you think. Beach reads for guys, I guess.
