My favorite book of last year was written by the same author as this book, and I didn't realize they made a movie based off of this. It's pleasant enough to watch, with a surprising, dramatic performance from the actor who played Raj on The Big Bang Theory. There are plenty of problems though. I feel like it moves too fast, skipping over important scenes to get through the story. I never bought that Amelia was in love with AJ and there are some dramatic moments that aren't earned, especially involving the other writer. I imagine this was a tough story to adapt into a movie. It's on Hulu and not a bad watch.
