Wow! This book was similar to the movie, but also not. Loved the book despite the differences - it’s always interesting to read about what the characters are thinking. Noah and Nick’s banter in the beginning was hilarious, especially when Nick tries to sick Thor on her. Mercedes Ron is a great author, can’t wait to read more from her!

I didn’t like the five year age gap between the characters, it doesn’t usually bother me but the girl (Noah) was still a minor (17) during this book and the guy (Nicholas) was an adult (22). I feel like it would have been better if the author had at least made her 18 so that way it was legal. 
Other than that I liked the book (I read it in English). The story and the progress of the relationship was a bit fast paced though.
