I read this book after seeing the movie based on it. I loved the movie, but I wish I had read the book first. When I read a book after seeing it portrayed on screen, the characters’ voices in my head all sound like the voices of the corresponding actors. That isn’t always a problem, but in this case the book was written by a British author and the movie was made in the U.S. Hearing the word “snog” spoken by John Cusack in an American accent is rather disconcerting.
