My review :
I went to many bookstores but I didn’t find it because it’s sold out! so many times !! and I was so excited to read it, but I give up and I watched the movie, and one day I went to the bookstore again and I had no intention to buy any kind of book, but it just my weak spot and I cannot ! and I find “wonder” ! what a coincidence !!.
then I finally start reading it, it wasn’t what I expected, unfortunately .. I had a high expectations but it was literally the opposite.
because I already watched the movie and I already know the story, it wasn’t a novel at all, it’s like a movie script with all those quotations in their conversations! I know that he’s a kid and he was talking about himself but it was so childish and the ending was so expectable, by the way! the book is really great but it’s just my subjective opinion ♡.
