I have watched the film to the end and felt the ending was satisfactory despite other reviews disliking the ending. I felt the ending was realistic and portrayed the relationship between adam and beth realistically as it was shown they were eventually incompatible. However, what the reviews seem to be missing is that this break was what was needed for adam to flourish in his new job position which adequately suited his needs. In reality, i would argue this film is not a romance but adam learning to adjust to life independently. It was established at the beginning his father died, his crutch and aid in navigating life- shown through his boss mentioning about how adam's dad convinced him that adam was suitable for the job position. after his father has passed, adam has no crutch and so latches onto beth. although they share a romance later on, this was more of beth needing support through her recent breakup and father being convicted, and adam needing support without his fathers presence. The ending allows us to see the outcome of adam gaining independence as beth's prior teachings and support has aided him succeeding the job interview and moving house- but also remaining independent and forming friendships. Overall, i would rate this film a 3 out of 5 for the ending being different than the usual rom-coms i see- usually its more unrealistic. this, however, allows the audience to gain insight on what support can do for individuals suffering from mental health struggles, but also the outcome of what independence can do for people like adam.

To not include any spoilers i will keep this brief. I enjoyed this book due to its fluid readability and consistently intriguing storyline. The protagonist was enjoyable, however the constant reflections on Feminism and women's rights could have been placed more subtly. Although, I did feel as though the relationships between characters seemed natural and that the ending as a consequence is the most natural. I particularly enjoyed the antagonist and felt as though he was written very well, the complicated nature of death was well depicted and the complications between those grieving was always interesting. Final note: I didn't like Ed anyway and thought that him not even saying he had done the act with her friend was the final straw for me. I felt including luke more would have been more satisfactory.

What's nice about this book is that its a simple, easy romance. The vampire element was great, but I wish there was more of Reginald (i also feel cassie and reginalds dynamic would have better suited a romance) and the other vampires and I feel the vampire world wasn't explored to the degree it could have been. The main character was brilliant but it felt like she was missing other people around her like her family and I feel the writer could have incorporated the family issues to a greater degree because it was mentioned occasionally but wasn't developed. As well as this, the ending felt extremely rushed and I felt their relationship was too quick. I was expecting cassie to attend the main party but it lasted only about 6 pages of Fredrick being taken hostage and then returned again. Also. Lastly. Using a tiktok video as the thing that made the centuries old vampire family surrender was just too bizarre- they literally kill multiple people every day for a snack. Over all, I loved the character writing and I read it in less than a day, but i did feel that if it would have been developed that little bit further it would have become another vampire classic such as True blood. Either way, it definitely stuck with the simplistic romance plot I expected from the genre and over all if give it a 5/10

I feel everyone is focusing on the race issues they bring up, but personally despite the antagonists being white mostly, i felt that they were extremist people and it wasnt supposed to reflect all white people- just a possibility that could happen due to some extremist beliefs which can be shown through the main white characters being well- normal. I thought it was an excellent movie, has brilliant acting and is able to hold tension brilliantly. i would definitely recommend.
