Charming, sweet, more in depth plot and characters than the movie but did not make me think any less of the movie, either! (Some books ruin their movies for me, and this did not.)

The movie based on this book is one of my all time favourites, so I was prepared to be disappointed when reading it since I have heard they are fairly different from one another. But to my pleasant surprise the book was so good! I had a fun time reading and loved all the details that never made it into the movie. The only thing that lowered my rating was that, even though I loved the enemies to lovers relationship between Sophie and Howl, I thought thing moves a bit to quickly at the end from hating each other to suddenly falling in love.
