I don't see Halle Berry as Veronica for some reason, but I think it would definitely be interesting to see how they changed the narrative to fit into a movie format
Do you ever feel like you spend too much time reading? Yeah. Me neither. :lol:

To make it into a film, the opposite of what normally happens with books and movies would take place. Most of the book was introspective musings among the ladies and really reflection while they were flyfishing, so I feel like more active scenes would have to be added. Also, can you imagine the scene where Melody falls into the water? That's definitely gonna bring some laughs. I feel like the dynamic that exists among them would be more vibrant, though. I'd love to see some of their interactions acted out.

I would to see this book turned into a movie! I can imagine the dialogue being as funny and witty as in the book. Of course, they would have to add scenes to help the viewer learn more about character's inner thoughts since this is a book that heavily relies on the inner dialogue.

I think the book would make a great movie. It is so scenic, all the vivid descriptions the author makes put on video sounds very practical to me. Seeing the fly fishing done practically, I would watch the movie definitely.

I would love to see this book as a movie! I think it would have some amazing scenes, and plenty of hilarious and touching moments. I think a bit more action would have to be added to prevent it from dragging on a little, especially in the quieter scenes, but overall I think it would make a great film.

I think it will make for a great movie. I can just visualize the cast getting into character, it will be lovely to watch the characters come alive.

I don't really think it'd make a good movie. It has a lot of moments of thought and that might just make a movie seem dragy.

veronica was portrayed as physically on the big side. Halley Berry wouldn't exactly suit the character.

I think yes. It reminds me of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. It might not be a blockbuster, but it's a feel-good movie.
Happy reading,

Yes, I think it would make a great movie. While I was reading the book I felt so in tune with the characters, there friendship were so beautifully portrayed on the pages that I wish to see them on screen.

Am not sure about your cast but I think it could do well as a film.

Yes, but that would depend oh how well it's executed. I've had some pretty dope books turn disastrous after being poorly acted. For example Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl"
