i read this because i remember loving the movie when i was little but not remembering the entire plot, and it did not disappoint! ian mcewan's writing style is very pretty, although i did skim through some parts that felt like superfluous, flowery details. the plot twist made me gasp and i'm glad i didn't remember it. i love a not so happy ending. very much sucks you in. the emerald green dress cecilia wears is iconic!!!
