Welcome, book friends!

I am back with another installment of Pages to Popcorn, where I explore books and their movie adaptations side by side and share my thoughts in real time. This time, I am diving into One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid (spoiler-free). Expect heartfelt romance, emotional crossroads, and a love triangle that tests the heart in unexpected ways. I will be reading the book first and then watching the film, complete with live reactions, commentary, and maybe a snack break or two. Will the movie capture the same emotional pull as the book? Pour yourself a drink, grab some popcorn, and join me to find out.
