There's the movie releasing next year. What are your thoughts so far on the trailer?

I understand that movies aren't always exactly like the book, but changing the plot line has gone too far. And where did Bella thorne come from, she seems to have a huge part in the movie, but in the book, her character has a small role. The movie is gonna be a typical teen film, with blocked kissing scenes, and an over exaggeration of high school issues.
^ ranting about all of that though.. I hope that the movie isn't like the trailer, and that they discuss the insecurities that Bianca went through, because thats what drew me to the book, I could relate with her character.(less)

Having already watched the movie, is it worth reading the book? I know this question is kind of a sin in the readers community but I mean... is the plot so different?

Which story you prefer is of course, subjective, but it is a very different story and is worth checking out if you’re curious. The audiobook is available on YouTube for free and you can listen to it quickly at 2x (it’s pretty short) if you don’t want to commit to the book (just a fair warning though I’ve heard some people don’t like the narrators voice). But the family drama and dynamics are completely different between both Bianca and Wesley (more serious in my opinion), the friendship dynamics are different, and the relationship itself is pretty different.(less)

is there inappropriate content?

Robert Andres I'm not recommending this book to any of my under eighteen year old niblings. They can watch the movie but this book is too graphic. …moreI'm not recommending this book to any of my under eighteen year old niblings. They can watch the movie but this book is too graphic. (less)

Have you seen the movie? If so, do you prefer it to the book? (I prefer the book, as it portrays Wesley, and Bianca, far differently!)

I think you have to view it as an alternate reality (movie vs book) to really enjoy it. If you are constantly comparing movie adaptations to the books they're based on, you'll always end up disappointed.(less)
