This book is way different than the movie. Its significantly better; The protagonist has more of a back bone. This is a great feminist ya book. It even discusses how boys can’t understand what its like being a girl, they usually get defensive when talking about it, you don’t need to be defensive, you need to listen.

I really loved this, specially the ending. I love how the author, even with the fact that the main character is a white woman, she tried to make this intersectional (even tho when it comes to that kind of representation, the movie was better in my opinion) specially in the second half. I loved the character development specially in the main character Viv and her best friend Claudia.

as I said, the representation, in my opinion, was better in the movie but it still had some representation which I really appreciated.

also, I have to say: movie Seth Acosta >>>> book Seth Acosta.
but I still really liked him (even tho he pissed me off sometimes, he had character development in the end).

so yeah... I really liked this. I also recommend the movie. it's on Netflix.
