 I much prefer the movie, but this was a fun and short read for right before Christmas! I'm a slow reader but I read it in two days and with not having a lot of time in those days to read.

Luther is an absolute jerk in the book and several parts of it very much did not age well, but Nora is hilarious as well as ~spoiler~ the scramble after Blair calls to say she's coming home with Enrique. The last act really redeemed it for me. I really didn't think I would ever reread it up to that point because I just couldn't stand Luther, but now I think I may read it every year for the holidays.

Funny quick read. At first I couldn't understand why they would throw away the cruise and everything but the ending was kinda heartwarming and overall I enjoyed the story.

Just watch the movie - this is exactly like that but with bonus racism and eating disorders.
