omg, I love anything Nic Hornby, especially this. Is it his screenwriting aspect that helps make his novels adapt so easily? That's a precious gift, and I wish it for you, someday! <3 I know this is an old post for you, but I only just found out about it (from your newest post). btw I'm one post behind because so deep into How to End a Love Story, which I had JUST started when I opened your previous newsletter, bailed out quick in case of spoilers, but in a few days I will happily return to see what you have to say about it. Not sure if this makes any sense, but anyway I'm loving everything you write!
I read every obsessive word and am clearly ready to rewatch (and possibly purchase) this film. Going to fix myself some tea and ponder Ethan’s charms 😂👍🫖
Welp, I guess I gotta watch this movie now, because it sounds like exactly my jam. I am a "read the end of the book to know if it's worth my time" kind of person, which drives my spouse INSANE, so I also need to read all the spoilers to know if I want to watch a movie.
Also you are completely correct about Jess Hardy's "Come As You Are" which is the absolute best midlife romcom I've read so far. ("Before I Let Go" also looks really good but given the TWs, probably a "wait a bit" book for me rn.)
yes obviously I highly recommend this movie!!! I think you’d love it. And totally understood re the TWs on Before I Let Go. Come As You Are is just such a gift!!
