    Kissing Booth 2: The Book

    About the Book

    The film "Kissing Booth 2" is based on the book The Kissing Booth 2: Going the Distance by Beth Reekles. This book is a sequel to the original novel The Kissing Booth, which gained popularity on the online platform Wattpad before being published.

    Author

    Beth Reekles is a British author who began writing at a young age. Her success on Wattpad led to a publishing deal, and she has since written several young adult novels. Her works often explore themes of romance, friendship, and the challenges of teenage life.

    Book vs. Film

    The film adaptation of The Kissing Booth 2: Going the Distance follows the general plot and themes of the book, focusing on the long-distance relationship between the main characters, Elle and Noah. However, as with many adaptations, there are differences in character development and specific plot points to suit the cinematic format. Fans of the book will notice some changes, but the film retains the essence of Beth Reekles's story.

    Production

    In February 2019, it was announced Joey King, Joel Courtney and Jacob Elordi would reprise their roles, with Vince Marcello directing from a screenplay he wrote alongside Jay Arnold, with Netflix distributing. In May 2019, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Taylor Zakhar Perez joined the cast of the film, with Meganne Young, Carson White and Molly Ringwald reprising their roles.

    Yeah. The comedy is weak…the romance is weak…drama is not good at all…wait…it’s generally something very primitive.
