Ich bin so froh, dass Kelly Oram mir wieder zeigt, wieso ich ihre Bücher so liebe!! Nach Cinder und Ella ist sie schnell zu einer meiner liebsten Autorinnen geworden - und dieses Buch kommt zwar nicht an das beste aller Bücher ran… aber es war trotzdem ein kleines großes Highlight für mich! Angefangen bei ihrem Schreibstil, den ich in jedem ihrer Bücher sehr zu schätzen wusste und der zu einem super schnellen und flüssigen Lesen und einem wundervollen Leseerlebnis geführt hat. Ich habe mit Nate mitgefühlt, und fand es großartig nur seine Sicht der Dinge zu erfahren! Es hat dem ganzen einfach das gewisse etwas gegeben, was ich so noch nicht gelesen habe und was mir aber richtig gut gefallen hat! Auch das Trope, was mich normalerweise immer sehr stört, wurde hier wunderbar umgesetzt, vielleicht sogar das allererste Mal vernünftig und in einer guten und vor allem ehrlichen Art und Weise! Die ganzen Film-Anekdoten sowie auch die Liebe zur Musik, durch die Studiengänge von Nate und Jordan waren einfach nur großartig und haben mir richtig gut gefallen! Hach. Ich mochte einfach alles an diesem Buch und bin richtig traurig es schon zu Ende gelesen zu haben… große Empfehlung für alle Young Adult Liebhaber*innen!

I would have given this book a high 4 stars. It's a cute story and well written. What I couldn't stand was the under age drinking and the implied immorality.

I loved Jordan, but Sophie really ruined the book for me. I also felt that Nate wasn't a strong enough character and was a pushover. Not one of my favorites.

Okay, so If We Were a Movie had it's cute moments.. but some of this book just rubbed me the wrong way. Eh, well if I don't want to lie then a lot of this book did. First off, we meet the "perfect" couple Sophie and Nate. They are high school sweethearts who thought they were going to grow old and boring together.
Well, until Nate starting thinking of doing something different with his life. Eh, isn't that how it always happens? Let's be honest.. I hated Sophie with a damn passion. God, she was so selfish and manipulative. The day they finally broke up I feel like I almost cried. That's how invested I was in their damn break up. Call me horrible.. I'm sure someone does every day.
Now just cause I don't like Sophie doesn't mean I'm team Nate all the way because I'm not. I honestly don't think I had a favorite character in this book. I mean, I liked people but that was pretty much it. The ending was pretty cute though.

Diese Geschichte, diese Charaktere...das Buch war einfach wundervoll und ich habe es von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite geliebt. Die Verbindung zwischen Nate und Jordan ist einfach magisch und dass Filmtitel die Kapitelüberschriften sind, ist eine mega Idee. Besonders Jordan hat tolle Charaktereigenschaften und ist einfach mein Liebling in diesem Buch. Dennoch hat für mich irgendwie ein kleiner Funken gefehlt, weshalb ich nur 4,5 Sterne gebe. Es ist trotzdem eine riesengroße Empfehlung!

MY THOUGHTS:
It was a cute and fun read. It may not be one of my favorites by her but it was still a cute simple read.
GOOD POINTS:
I really enjoyed the characters! I really loved Nate’s growth. From winy boy to standing up for what he wanted. And what made him happy. Plus, Mrs. Oram made them pretty young and let’s be honest, we don’t always know what we want. And I thought she handled that really well. When I was their age, I was not that wise and I for one weren’t be able to handle that scary witch of an ex-girlfriend. >.<
I enjoyed how normal of a read this was. Everything was like “kay, that’s been done before but wow, you made it your own. You owned the whatsbeendonebefore” And it was funny! The two main characters knew this about themselves. They knew that they were heading into a world that many people follow down and not a lot of them make it. They made fun of themselves but still wanted to push through. I was nodding the whole time. I was like ‘You guys go. You do this. Be bad.” Lol
BAD POINTS:
Another simple read and Nate was waning a lot. I was like dude, grow up a little! And please for the love of god, get rid of the women that doesn’t fit you. His ex-girl was a simple over the type women that most people think of. That girl that’s like bossyyoudoitmywayorhellwillhappen kind of women. And I really didn’t think Mrs. Oram should have done that. I think she could have made a much better character that was still the same but better. More personality. You already knew what was going to happen. He was going to choose the movie maker girl who understood him and not the girl he was with for three years.
The ex-girlfriend was a bitch. Like wow. You don’t have to go that far if you were losing someone! You’re not old enough to be that cruel and I really didn’t agree with that. A 20something female weren’t go that far to keep a boyfriend who didn’t want her. *shrugs* but that’s just me. Lol
OVERALL:
What if you lived in a movie and you were trying to not live that way but in the end; you both fell for the movie.
It was a cute and fun read. It may not be one of my favorites by her but it was still a cute simple read.
