I picked this up because I enjoyed the movie so much, and I wanted to see how it differed from the movie. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I hadn't had the casting and the difference in the story from the movie skewing my view of the story in the book.

I enjoyed this quick, easy read and would recommend it.

I'm sorry for any fans of this trilogy, i hope for your sake that the TV series is different. I would've liked it, if i was 12! I usually don't writing adjusted for younger audiences, but this was too much. I feel like the characters were so poorly written (character arc, heard of it, Jenny Han?) and the two protagonists, of which their relationship is supposedly the whole point of the book, were barely together during the course of this book. the rest just exploded in my face in the last few pages, with a very unsatisfying ending. Jenny Han, i wish you stopped at To All The Boys I've Loved Before. #proudhater

Three hours I will never get back. Probably my least favorite book I've ever read. I would have given this book zero stars if I could.
