![]() ![]() The film succeeded with excellent pacing – all of the omissions from the written version, and the reveal of Tessa’s bucket list was much more poignant. And so are some or the situations in the novel. I can’t say I didn’t mind it though, cancer is quite confronting. The more risqué scenes cut or buffed over. The film suffered as many screen adaptations do – sanitised to fit into a ratings category. And you live the time you have left without abandon. You do feel bipolar and swing to extremes. Yes it’s sad, but it’s the most realistic reaction to getting sick with a terminal disease I’ve read so far. Both film and novel make no apologies for Tessa, our protagonist’s actions. At first I really didn’t want to read another sad and depressing book, considering The Fault in Our Stars sent me into a funk for nearly a week. I was recommended this book and film from fellow blogger belleofthelibrary when I happened across her book review. ![]() You never decide to die – but you must decide to live! ![]()
