I thought the premise of the book had a ton of promise, but then for like 300 pages in the middle it was just two suburbanites playing house. Was the movie like that too?
Not to mention that no matter how hard I tried I could not get over the idea of an adult man suddenly showing up, acting like he knows this little girl, and them talking about how they are going to have babies and be married later on.
I couldn't even watch the movie - I literally had to force myself. As for the book, it was one of those "inertia" reads - the beginning was interesting so I just kept going with it. In retrospect, I don't think I really enjoyed it. It got tedious after a while.
