![]() ![]() And Carmen -scolds- her own self for being angry! BE ANGRY! I remember being angry at the movie because her arc was to cry, put the jeans on, and attend a wedding of two people she barely knew and had no time or desire for her in their lives. ![]() ![]() An enormous part of this is her bio-dad himself. Other than that, this alternated between being a cute, fun read and a "damn, that is a -serious- issue being explored right now." Carmen's character has waaay more of a spine in the movie. One thing that made it difficult to read was my ebook didn't have section breaks, and the POVs switch multiple times per chapter, so it was somehting like trying to find a hidden puzzle piece. The movie, like "Crazy Rich Asians," is both a stellar adaptation and a better method of telling this actual story than the book is. ![]() I remember someone started crying and I got upset because at first, I thought they were laughing. When the movie came out, I saw it in theatres with my aunt and grandma IIRC. There were tons of other books I wanted to read as well, so I never got around to this one until now. I was in sixth grade, I think, and I really wanted to read it. A librarian told me about this book when it first came out. Three and a half rounded up to four stars. ![]()
