🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Everyone has seen the film, or at least recognise when they see a picture or scene.

But I didn't remember it being so dark towards the end?
Probably it isn't in the film.
As many reviews say "you will fall in love with the book", and yes you do. 
The free spirited Holly is actually fragile, especially in the book, she's 20. 
She makes mistakes, yes, but she moves on, quickly. 

Everyone loves her but nobody really cares about her. 
The iconic romantic story. 

There are 3 more short stories and they kind of share the same feeling of bitter romance.
