jesus christ, this was in some ways better than the movie but in some ways way worse. for eg how astrid is potrayed in this book; she is exactly like she is in the movies EXCEPT she has slight..self worth issues. michael "cheats" on her and she BEGS for him to stay, and when she finds out he made up the entire thing...she still wants him. like for fucks sake, the worst plot line in this book. i hate how many side characters were introduced simultaneously. i still do not remember half of nick's family members, and how the one's i remember, are related to him! cannot believe how much they changed from the book, eg no one actually knows the youngs, theyre very VERY lowkey and only the inner circle knows them. but their other family branches, leongs & t'siens are known. HMMM, i still enjoyed this, it just was so confusing to introduce people who never were talked about AGAIN. waste of pages.
