I wasn't planning to read the first book since I've watched the movie but oh my I didn't regret reading it eventually because IT HAS A DIFFERENT PLOT?!? I'm telling you, the book is so much better.
This book, series to be exact, is full of money and poor people discrimination (it's not THAT bad but if you've read it, you'll get my point). Every time Rachel meets an Aunty or an Uncle or the cousins, they impliedly asking her "Are you Rich?" "Do you want Nick's money?" Like? Mind your own business?? And Eleanor UGHH she ALWAYS trying to find the bad in Rachel when the other Aunties are getting to accept Rachel. It seems like the word ‘privacy’ doesn't exist in their world, Eleanor is a freaking stalker. She could be curious about someone's life and the next day she knows everything, everything.
Apparently the book isn't just about Rachel and Nick, but also some other stories like Astrid and her family problems, Eleanor being a stalker, the psycho Aunties. I swear, I can be rich if I get a dollar for every time anyone trying to bring Rachel down. I enjoy reading this series more than I expected honestly, although yeah, it has a lot of dramas but this is one good chick-lit.
