How Many Booktok Books Have I Read Compared To My Friends?

I’ve always been fascinated by the way stories transition from the page to the screen, especially when it comes to books that gain popularity on platforms like BookTok. Over the years, I’ve read quite a few books that later became movies, and it’s always interesting to see how the adaptation compares to the original work. One of the first books I read that later became a movie was 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. The book’s emotional depth and the chemistry between Hazel and Gus made it a standout read, and the movie did a decent job of capturing that essence, though, as always, the book felt more intimate. Another BookTok favorite that I read before it hit the big screen was 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston. The book’s witty dialogue and the slow-burn romance between Alex and Henry were incredibly engaging. While the movie adaptation hasn’t been released yet, I’m curious to see how it translates the book’s charm and humor. Similarly, 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' by Taylor Jenkins Reid is another BookTok sensation that’s been optioned for a film. The book’s intricate storytelling and the enigmatic character of Evelyn Hugo made it a compelling read, and I’m eager to see how the movie handles its complex narrative. 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover is another book I read that’s set to become a movie. The book’s exploration of love, abuse, and resilience was both heartbreaking and inspiring, and I’m interested to see how the movie portrays these themes. 'The Love Hypothesis' by Ali Hazelwood is also on the list of BookTok books that are being adapted into movies. The book’s blend of romance and humor, set in the world of academia, made it a delightful read, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the movie brings Olive and Adam’s story to life. Lastly, 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Delia Owens is a book I read that later became a movie. The book’s vivid descriptions of the marshlands and the mystery surrounding Kya’s life made it a captivating read. The movie did a good job of capturing the book’s atmosphere, though, as with most adaptations, the book’s depth was hard to fully replicate. Reading these books before they became movies has given me a deeper appreciation for the storytelling process and the challenges of adapting a beloved book for the screen.
