I think the book version got over hyped from the posts I saw of it. Is the book good, why yes. It is an enjoyable read and the characters are flawed but loveable, but I think the book vs movie debate got too hot and really gave me heightened expectations for the book version.
The love story here is very subdued and the ending with them staring at each other with heart eyes almost caught me off guard. It almost felt a bit disconnected from the actual events of the story since the mostly just bickered, but to each their own.
