Bought this book on Friday while going to a weekend trip and I finished it last night.

I saw this movie a few months ago and to be honest, I didn't quite like it. Ok I hated April, Kate Winslet's character. I thought she was selfish and honestly halfway through the movie I wanted to jump in the screen and smack some sense into her. But I felt compelled to get the book just so see how true the movie was to it.

The movie was pretty faithful to the book, some differences here and there.

All and all, I enjoyed the book more. While the movie was better visually and gave a sense of how the characters live, the book gave a more in depth sense of the characters and was totally worth it.
