i love the movie and as with a lot of the books, i finally add it to a list of to be read!
i’ve wanted to read this book since i knew about the movie being book based (literally almost every movie is book based 👏🏻)
SO i added it to my ‘52 for 2026’ list and i’m just going through the list at will. 🙂
