4 stars. I’m not going to lie, there’s a bit of bias in the way that I’m rating this book just because I love the movie adaptation so much. It’s such a classic and iconic film. The older I get, the more I appreciate it plus all the memes from twitter makes me love it more but that’s because I’m kinda triflin’ so yeah.
