I finished the book and watched the movie right after. I first want to say that the chemistry between the actors who portrayed Noah and Nick was intense. I got so frustrated with the slow burn romance in the book. I was glad they picked up the pace in the movie. The car races and chases were sort of cheesy but overall it's a solid 5 stars from me. I highly recommend watching the movie in its original language. The English dubbed version wasn't as good.
