Katherine Center is always a win for me. I adored these characters so much. I could relate to how uptight Helen was and wanting to change her life and be stringent about the rules. I could also relate to having a crush on someone you know is wrong for you and ignoring all your gut instincts anyway.
I loved Duncan even though his actions were confusing. He was so quirky and fun and just had this young energy in spite of the things he’s going through.
They didn’t make sense together, but they made sense together, ya know?
I watched the Netflix movie soon after and that was a mistake! It didn’t hold a candle to the book. There was no chemistry. Their love story didn’t feel believable. I also didn’t like how Duncan was portrayed in the movie. He felt too serious. I was so disappointed because I wanted to see their love story onscreen, but it didn’t do it for me at all.
Loved the book though and I want to reread it if only to get thoughts of the movie out of my head.
