What Members Thought
I watched the movie first and I really loved it. So I decided that I had to read the book. And I ended up really loving it! This reminded me of an older version of Gossip Girl with an all Asian cast and even more over the top characters. If you like Gossip Girl, you’ll like this. But this was a bit more grounded than Gossip Girl was with characters and situations that balanced out the over the top elements.
I watched the movie over the holiday which convinced me to read the book. There are a few differences between the movie and book, and while in most cases, I preferred the book's version, the ending of the movie wrapped up things a bit better (while I know that book 2 continues the story, I'm also aware that book 2 only came about because the publisher asked for it, not because the author had planned to add more to the story).
