I totally did not read the book. But the movie was AMAZING! They did a great job of showing the love story between the two main characters and the struggle of them finding themselves!! BUT the ending was the worst IN SUCH A GOOD WAY!!! I NEED ANSWERS! I NEED A SEQUEL! IM SO OBSESSED! Long story short: GO. SEE. THIS. MOVIE. (And for those of you saying the producers “rushed” or left things out of a 99 chapter book....no duh? No one has time to sit through a 8 hour movie!)
