Young adult romances just don't translate well to the screen. I really enjoyed the book because it actually does take place in one day, and shows how people's lives affect each other.

[@nicolekemedi2814]

Same. I liked the romance okay, but the best part was the portrayal of all the people that would be 'secondary' or 'unimportant' in any other book, the way they showed all the little interpersonal situations that affected everybody.

[@kasenbrown8952]

They missed so many details in the book it made me so mad! They skipped the whole scene where they first meet and when they see natashas ex. The red tie! They completely left out the red tie and the ponytail. And I hate how she didn’t have a real afro

[@Ella-yd4re]

@@kasenbrown8952 that is very true. But they didn't change points that it made it jarring. Yeah I was sad they removed those parts but I guess that their artistic viewpoint was different. Also I'm low key tired of Yara Shahidi and Amandla playing all the black teens so I get what u mean about the afro

[@bryn_]

@@Ella-yd4re In a lot of ways, they did leave out the parts that made the book so special to me. The book went into so much more detail about who the characters really were. For example: Natasha's relationship with her father and how that explains her disbelief in love, the social worker and his assistant and how their interactions impacted Natasha's life, even the security woman and Natasha's unknowing saving of her life. All of these things made the story so full and real that it makes the movie seem weak.
