I did very much like the story and the characters. My only wish is that the POVs were more limited in the scenes.

I think the movie is better than the books the actors kinda make it for me.

A well written book about the difficulty of being true to yourself.

Shamim Sarif is worlds better at prose than screenwriting. The plotholes in the movie were nonexistent in the novel. A fun, lighthearted read worth passing on to other fans of fluffy lesbian lit.

It was very nice and sweet, but I was expecting more out of it...

If I hadn't watched the movie I probably wouldn't have understood as well as I did, the book doesn't explain much and kind of jumps all over the place. 

Like others have said, this felt like I was reading the movie transcript, however, this movie was my gay comfort watch when I first came out so this filled up my little gay heart!
