Not my usual genre for reading and although I liked the book well enough, I didn’t race out to read the second book in the series (and still haven’t although the movie revived my interest).
I was gonna tell you that you don’t need to read the second book, because I cannot even remember what happen in that one, but then I checked my goodreads and I gave it 4 stars so clearly I liked it (although it might have been a 3.5 stars being rounded to 4 because 3 felt too low). After reading the synopsis, I remember that it was quite cute and a good sequel.

I have a feeling it’s lurking in my out-of-control TBR stack so I’ll probably get to it at some stage…

I just finally saw the movie! The snow scenes are pretty gorgeous, and I loved her parents in the movie. I think I still prefer the book, because somehow seeing it all in my head made it feel more real and tragic — but they did do a really good job with the movie.
Oh dear, I’ve not read any. At least there’s no danger of me becoming a book-prize-tart! I’m really keen to read The Natural Way of Things ever since your review, but its not published here until June 🙁
Whoops – the comment above was supposed to be on your Stella Prize shortlist post – not sure how it ended up here & I can’t remove it! So sorry – its 7am here & clearly I’m not properly awake yet!
I watched the film first before the book, which is unlike me. But I think I liked the film more. Also, Chloe Grace Moretz is brilliant as Mia. I didn’t like Mia’s character as much in the book. Chloe made her likable to me.
I think I liked the book better. Or maybe the film. (Or the book.). Too hard to decide.

Agree that the car crash scene had more impact in the book than the movie (which is odd given that they can create wordless suspense in a movie!).

It will be worth the wait!

Agree, Moretz did a very good job.
