It seems like the perfect spring break getaway. An all-expenses paid trip to Los Angeles for five college coeds, Bonnie Bennett, Kai Parker, Jesse Coleman, Sarah Nelson, and Sophie Devereaux. All they have to do is participate in a medical study led by Doctor Wes Maxfield and monitored by Professor Atticus Shane. The beach, shopping, extravagant hotel suites, free booze, and hot guys. What’s eight injections of a not-quite-FDA approved substance a day for five days?
The test group is fine when they get back to their respective campuses, but not for long. They each experience different delayed side effects: paranoia, increased anxiety, extreme mood swings, a compromised immune system, and for Kai an acute obsession with a certain Bennett. It isn’t until one of the trial participants dies from complications that Bonnie realizes something is very wrong and she may be the only one who can convince Prof. Shane to figure out what’s happened.
As much as I love the movie adaptation of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, I will forever be bitter that they switched the first kiss she had with Peter in the book to the one she had with John Ambrose in the book in the movie.
The book version, it’s a lot more deliberate on Peter’s part and would make that line about the kiss being pretty hot for the 7th grade make so much more sense because it wasn’t a kiss in a game of spin the bottle, it was a kiss where he looked over to her and couldn’t help the feels bubbling inside if him and he kissed her. Though we already knew he always thought she was beautiful but that conveys it in a much better way than a simple peck on the lips while everyone is watching.
The movie did a great job of translating the book to film which was honestly surprising to me since the book is in first person and when films adapt books like these they tend to be over saturated with voice over and usually in an annoying way that explains the exposition rather than show me it. Anyway, my point is I have no real issue with the movie, but I feel kinda of robbed of their first actual kiss because it was so much more intimate, explains their relationship a bit more, and makes Gen seem a lot less ridiculous (even though she was still being ridiculous in the book).
Day 30 Prompt: hex Characters: Bonnie Bennett, everyone in Mystic Falls Note: This drabble and the one to be posted tomorrow is my homage to one of the best Halloween TV episodes: Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Halloween. Hopefully you will enjoy my sort of tongue and cheek send off of it.
This year the Historical Society decides to go all out.
Caroline, never one to resist an event that involved copious amounts of decorating, volunteers both Bonnie and Elena before they even know it is happening. She smiles brightly as she hands them each a To Do list (a thick wad of paper stapled neatly in the top right hand corner).
Bonnie sighs. “I was thinking something more low key this year,” she admits quietly. She is risking much by speaking out when Caroline is mid planning but she has to. After the past year, she envisions spending Halloween on her couch watching movies and eating candy instead of giving it out.
