Trailer:

I read the book then I watched the movie right after. I have to say that I enjoyed doing that, it's perhaps for me the best way to enjoy movies based on books.  While there are a few integral changes it's still a good movie based on the book and even if I'd never read the book I would still enjoy it.

This one seems to be aimed at a younger audience even though the book itself didn't seem to be that way. It had a few changes I wasn't happy with, and it didn't explain how she ended living the way she did or why it's just her and her mom. Which was a integral part of the book, these explanations are why the story develops the way it does, even interactions between certain characters were left out.

Even with the changes I still loved the movie and it's story about love, About grief and about changes.  I would have like Olly to have more depth as in the books but I understand it's necessary to cut things out. It's still a movie I will add to the cute movie night watch list and I'm adding into my collection.

I recommend if you're looking for a cute, summery romance, about life, self discovery and first love.

Bring popcorn and enjoy my loves,
