I purchased this book when I saw the previews for the movie and I thought I'd read the book first. I received it very fast from Amazon but when I started reading it I realized the book was going nowhere! It was very confusing to read; jumped all over the place with dates, etc. and the characters were not developed throughout this dry story. I felt weird even reading it and I definitely will not go to see the movie. There are descriptions of love scenes that are completely out of place and tasteless. I'm sorry to say that I would not recommend this book; it was a complete disappointment!
