I watched this movie and found it - for a romcom- quite nice. It is funny, its kinda sexy and I was surprised that Abby was fun and relatable. The plot progressed well and i loved both main characters.
Then I read the book. WOW was it bad. There was so much problematic stuff going on with Travis as a character and Abby was such a typical "i'm not like other girls" not to mention the s*** shaming that happened in the books.
I'm so happy with what the writers did with the material and how they brought the story to 2023. Also they left out a bunch of side characters and really put emphasis on the story ALSO leaving out a third of the "on-off" toxic relationship stuff. One of the best book - to - movie - adaptions I've seen.
I would watch the movie again, but the book needs to be incinerated.
