It’s been a really long time since I read the book (I’ve seen the movie a lot though) and I didn’t realize how different it was from the movie until just now. I don’t mind the differences and really they could be two different stories, which is fine because I love both of them :)
But this is a fun book and I love Ella and Char, they’re adorable :)
You can definitely see some things in here that wouldn’t fly today (the amount of “fat = bad” in this book is a little iffy, and the way that some of the magical creatures are treated is… interesting?) but other than that it’s a fun read (my elementary school self was obsessed with this one)
