Yeah, that definitely doesn't make sense. I liked that in the book she got to go off and have more adventures and continue to be herself.

I liked the ending SO much better than the movie's -- I don't see those two being happy together, but Hollywood just assumes that "together" equals "happy" and changed it. <br /><br />In the movie, he's not so much a gigolo as a "kept man." He's a writer, but his older lady friend pays his bills. She's his sugar mama, to put it another way.

I'm surprised that it's so hard to get--though I guess that is the fate of many a novel that gets turned into a more high-profile movie.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.com
