This book is substantially different from the movie, and they’re almost two completely different stories. I would describe Howl and Sophie’s relationship in the book as an enemies to lovers/annoyances to lovers slow burn. Sophie is also a raging b*tch, but in a girlboss way. I now understand why people say Sophie pegs Howl in the book. Howl is so much more annoying in the book, but I’m still madly in love with him. I labeled the diversity as “it’s complicated” because Michael is described as having “dark” skin, so he is likely a POC. The story is just so rich and wonderful, along with the world building <3

I’ve loved the anime adaptation since I was a teen, and read and loved the book in high school as well. I decided to make my husband listen to the book with me because he loves the movie, and he loves the book just as much! I also got more out of it this time around. My reading comprehension could be pretty low when I was a teen (due to forgetting to synthesize and focusing on translating letters to words). Definitely didn’t remember the parallele worlds!
