I saw this movie in theaters because Cecelia Ahern is by far the best writer ever, I have read all of her books and loved each and everyone of them so I was totally excited for the movie but all in all compared to the book, the movie wasn't very good. I can't say I hated it but I was definitely not impressed with it. So yes if you haven't seen the movie yet, i'd watch that first instead of reading the book because well the movie was excellent if you have yet to read the book, the movie sorta destroyed the book in my opinion, I don't know why but I honestly just didn't like that they changed practically everything =/
