The movie adaption of romance queen Colleen Hoover's Regretting You is out now, and overall, it's a pretty faithful adaption of the book.
The film's star-studded cast includes Allison Williams, Dave Franco, Mckenna Grace, and Mason Thames, who do a great job of bringing Morgan, Jonah, Cara, and Miller to life. The movie even often directly draws a lot of dialogue from the book.
Of course, there are a few differences, as the movie skips over a lot of the book's plot and exposition. Here are the biggest differences between the Regretting You book and movie. (Warning: Spoilers ahead!)
The movie is set in a fictional town called Dylan, North Carolina, whereas the book is set in Texas.
In the movie, Morgan tells Jonah she's pregnant in one of the first scenes, right after she finds out. Meanwhile, the book begins with Morgan finding out she's pregnant, but she doesn't tell Jonah until later.
The beginning of the movie also skips over a lot of Morgan's backstory and inner world, so we don't learn as much about her longtime feelings for Jonah or issues with Chris.
Jenny puts Clara on speaker in front of her mom in the movie, so her mom hears about Miller Adams that way. In the book, Jenny at least goes away to take the call from Clara.
The movie doesn't quite show how close Morgan and Jenny were, either, whereas their bond is a huge part of the book.
In the book, it's implied that Jenny was already pregnant with Chris's baby when she went to sleep with Jonah at his father's funeral.
The movie hints that Jenny didn't know she was pregnant when she slept with Jonah.
In the book, Miller and Clara spend a lot of time working on their film project, but the movie skips over that plotline entirely.
Morgan attacks Chris's car and kicks the kitchen door in the movie right after she finds out he and Jenny were having an affair.
In the book, she just leaves Chris's car at the hotel, and the kitchen door already wasn't working.
In the movie, Morgan's TV is working, but it isn't in the book, and she spends a lot more time trying to get her TV fixed so she can watch Bravo.
Morgan also drinks a lot more wine in the movie than in the book.
There's much more of an emphasis on grief and the characters' inner worlds in the book. Clara worries more about how her dad's infidelity might affect her relationships.
The movie exchanges Starbucks for a cafe called Refuge.
In the book, Clara starts drinking coffee at Starbucks and has her first date with Miller there. In the movie, they switch Starbucks for a cafe called Refuge. Maybe Starbucks didn't want the free PR?
In the movie, Jonah plays a song that makes Morgan have a flashback of a moment they shared at a swimming pool together.
There's no song-flashback moment in the book.
Morgan seems to like interior design in the movie, and is seen working on sketches multiple times. In the book, Morgan doesn't really seem to have a passion, though she starts feeling excited about finding one by the end.
In the book, she also worries more about money and applies for a job as a substitute teacher.
Clara and Miller watch Clueless on their date, which doesn't happen in the book. The movie also invents "horror movie nights at Refuge" — possibly a nod to both Mckenna Grace and Mason Thames's horror movie careers?
Morgan doesn't seem to forget Clara's birthday in the movie, but she definitely does in the book.
Clara also goes to the cemetery on her birthday in the movie on her birthday, which doesn't happen in the book.
In the book, Miller and Clara spend a lot of their time together working on a film about hating the color orange, which they watch at the end, and he then surprises Clara with a homemade film featuring the first time he saw her and ending with a prom-posal.
The movie skips the whole collaborative film plot, and ends with Miller surprising Clara with his prom-posal film.
Clara gets into college in the movie and gets the lead role in her school play, but neither of these things happen in the book, and there's more tension between Clara and Morgan about Clara's acting dreams in the book than in the movie overall.
The movie also adds an additional scene at the end where Morgan supports Clara's acting dreams and the two reconcile.
In general, the characters in the movie seem to go through a lot less emotional strife than the characters in the book. The book does a pretty good job of showing how grief and infidelity strains the relationships between all the characters and puts them all through various crises.
But the movie is heavier on the romance and puts less emphasis on the grief and emotional impact of Chris and Jenny's affair.
