The book had a good flow to it and developed the characters to the point that you wanted her to end up with both but were also fine with her choice in the end. The book gave you no reason to root for Sam. Him sharing his story with his students was ridiculous and was not in the book. On top of the lame timeline of the movie the acting was pretty bad and cringe. I had more hope for this movie but it definitely felt like it was a very low budget with cheesy acting and a confusing storyline. If I hadn’t read the book I would be very confused watching this film.
