I will admit: I came to this book already having watched the movie, but it's been years. I did enjoy this book, overall, I liked the premise of it, but the one-page chapters kind of threw me off.
I am jealous of Maddy's library, and the fact that she barely has to interact with people. But I understand that she and I wasn't very different things.
Olly took some getting used to, and I didn't really understand the appeal at first, but then I got to know him.
I think my favorite character is Carla--NOT JUST BECAUSE SHE'S HISPANIC! I love her because of her wisdom and how much she cares for Maddy. She goes above and beyond, and I think she's Maddy's only friend before Olly.
I do like the fact that Maddy and her mom have their little routines. I enjoy monotony, so I believe that I would thrive in her position.
