First I read the book and then watched the Ghibli film. Honestly, the book is better, I think it makes more sense. I preferred that the 'love plot' was not prominent, as oppose to the movie. You kinda stick to the end to know if the curse is going to break or not and that keeps you on your toes. I loved that Sophie is very chill about becoming old and how she describes being old, the fact that you automatically stop caring about what everybody thinks. Is very accurate and somehow inspiring.
