Two Readers, No Filter

This week, Claire and Cameron are comparing Verity by Colleen Hoover to its screen adaptation starring Dakota Johnson as Lowen, Josh Hartnett as Jeremy, and Anne Hathaway as Verity.

Did the adaptation stay true to the book? Were the casting choices spot on? What was changed, cut, or added—and did those changes actually work?

They're discussing their favorite moments from both versions, the biggest differences, and ultimately answering the question every reader asks: was the book better?
