About this deal

On the other hand, book Auden took some time to come to terms with the fact that her parents’ divorce (and their personalities) forced her to grow up too fast, leading her to miss out on various experiences including close friendships. Esther: Esther is yet another native Colby, that works at Clementine's and is best friends with Leah and Maggie.

So, my fellow fans: I am disappointed to report that this adaptation fell pretty flat for me, much like a bicycle tire that needs refilling (sorry, I had to! This differs from the book, where Auden never watches Eli compete in person — she only finds out that he's riding publicly again from a video she watches with Maggie and their other friends Esther and Leah.In fiction as in real life, summer plans never quite turn out to be exactly what we thought they would. He's struggling with his novel and is shut away in his study for most of the time, so Auden is thrown together with her girly stepmother, her colicky new baby stepsister and a gaggle of girls who talk about nothing but clothes and make up and relationships. In the book, Auden finds out that her mother has had several romantic relationships with the graduate students she works with since her divorce from Auden's father.

That’s right – Auden is a character so unable to separate herself from school that she thinks of preemptive studying as a pleasant way to spend her summer. Auden is an 18 year old insomniac and child of divorce whose night owl tendencies began when her parents were beginning to separate and would fight at night. I think the changes and realization she had from big events that happened made the book more relatable.But such a breezy, Instagram-friendly adaptation feels like a betrayal to Dessen’s original, neurotic protagonist, who has a more difficult journey from self-induced solitude to romance.
