This was my first time reading the book (I am an adult! But I never read the book or watched the movie as a kid). I enjoyed it - the characters were complicated but generally like able. I liked Sophie a great deal, kind of knew the ultimate pairing from the start but it still didn’t compel me as a relationship that much. I found the story fun, though!
