The Book
Rachel White falls for her best friend Darcy's fiancé Dex — and discovers a truth about herself she'd been avoiding for years.
The Film
Friendships are tested and secrets come to the surface when terminally single Rachel falls for Dex, her best friend Darcy's fiancé.
Key Differences
The film simplifies some of the book's complex character backstories. The ending is more optimistic and less ambiguous than the novel. Certain secondary characters and subplots are omitted or merged for brevity.
Our Verdict
Read the book firstThe film captures the main romantic conflict but lacks the depth and nuance of the book, making it better to read first for the full experience. Fans of the novel may find the adaptation too simplified.
