I've seen a movie and read a book somehwere around 2011.
The first half was a bit underwhelming and dragged. It seemed like actors were still learning the ropes around each other.
The second half, boy it gets better.
Leo really shows some range and character development, including actually being able to have a conversation and see his change.
Amika kind of stays the same and sarcastic but pull through very well and is believable.
The last episode is reallly a masterpiece in emotional rollercoaster.
