The movie has been a favorite of mine for years. The story is pretty much the same but I found the book to be incredibly reflective which added even more depth to the story. A sad and charming story.

the misogyny is there but is clearly stated to be bad in the next chapter. there are multiple ableist, racist, and homophobic slurs in this book.
