A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell
4.0

I, like many others, wanted to read this book because of the movie. I didn't end up listening to it until now though.

I really enjoyed the movie, and I couldn't want to see how different the book was, and I was actually surprised that it wasn't that different. In all honesty, only the end was different, and as I described to a friend, the movie provided more closure. I can't decided which version I enjoy more though. I usually love more closure, but I found that I wasn't upset by the ending of this book. It was also really nice to see the inner thoughts of everyone.

At the end of the day, I enjoyed both, only preferring the movie because of my love for the actors in it. It isn't amazing, but it is certainly fun, and I love the fact that you don't really like any of the main characters. None of them are a real hero. I love how selfish they are. They were so interesting, making this book worth a read.
