This movie, like the first misses so much that made the entire book series. Characters are completely missing. Main characters in the books have minor movie time. And Hardins characters, is supposed to be jealous, possessive, controlling and mean. ALL while she's fighting to get him to see she cares and he's better than that. The whole book series is on characters growth of kids with rough upbringings struggling to be not only in a relationship but grow up. The movies are too romanticized, and not letting the actual charters develop.
