confession time: i actually saw the film first before i read this, which i rarely do. but in this case, it didnt bother me at all! bookworm blasphemy, i know! :P
even though i already knew the story beforehand, the book still had plenty to offer. i especially loved the little nuances and details of maddys notes - it made the story so much more tangible and easier to accept, because lets be honest. this story is a little unrealistic at times (i guess thats the beauty of fiction). also, its very insta-lovey, but i thought the interactions between maddy and olly were cute and adorable enough to make up for it.
overall, this kept me entertained and engaged. its short with relaxed writing, so this is the perfect book for someone looking for a quick and unique afternoon read!
↠ 4 stars

I read the book then watched the movie and I couldn't finish the movie - kept rolling eyes! Strange, because I loved the book, but I just found the movie so cheesy.
i actually wasnt a fan of the film either! but i heard a lot of good things about the book, so i read it anyways. and i agree, its so much better - which is what i always think when it comes to book to film adaptations!
It is a sweet story. But "The son is also a star" is much better in my opinon. I read this year and I loved. And have a movie too.
ive read 'the sun is also a star' but i need to watch the film version! really happy you enjoyed it! :)
I too watched the movie first (which I usually never do) but I'd say the book is still worth reading
It was really good! I’m gonna now read “the sun is also a star” and for context I’ve seen neither movie for either book. I loved this book too!
