Euphoria fans have been waiting four years for season three of the hit HBO Max show and judging from the trailer, we are not going to be disappointed. When the first season debuted in 2019, viewers were given an insanely paced, twisty, and dramatic show that would hook them from the first five minutes. The show follows high school student, Rue, as she returns from rehab and immediately finds herself back into old habits. While Rue struggles to navigate her addiction, love, and identity, we also meet other high school students whose lives are just as crazy. If you enjoy binge-worthy shows that feature plenty of drama, toxicity, and sex, I’m sure that you’re ready for the new season! While you wait, here are some other books that are perfect to read if you can’t get enough of Euphoria!
