I personally loved it. But the book is wayyy better. The movie leaves out alot if things. I think his little college essay thing was a nice touch. This movie isn't about alcoholism and partying if you just glance at it. It's about self discovery and maturity for both Aimee an Sutter. The acting is sort of realistic where they aren't acting they're 26 years old. You can tell they're teenagers. It gives off this cute awkward vibe that makes the movie realistic and cute. But I reccomend the book.
