My lasting impression of this novel was that it was written with the film in mind. It bounces along ok with the usual 'gawky young male not able to cope with more assured females' plotline mixed with some 'gawky young male not able to cope with male friends or relationship with mother' sub plots, but I felt as though I'd read it before. It took me several weeks to finish - other books just seemed more interesting . . .
