Well it wasn't like the book was it

I think the book was better, especially the ending

What was the book ending and how was it diff

Savannah had an eating disorder in the book. Because of her mum basically forcing her to because she wanted her to be a ballerina. When she was little she came to the house one day to pick Harry up and she was really hungry but people were mean to her and shouted at her (can't remember exactly). So she came back to get revenge of some sort. (So she was messed up)
In the book it was Savannah who ended up telling everyone she was Harry's sister, because Joy found out she was his sister.
It was Savannah who told them all that Harry sacked Stan.

Joy had actually left a sticky note on the fridge before she went away in the book but it fell off and think dog ate it?

There was no car crash or anything in book. And in the book it ended with Savannah going back to visit her mum thinking of how her mum used to lock her in her room as a child with no food.
When her mum takes some sleeping pills Savannah drags her into her room puts some food and water in there and then just leaves.

And it was just a really creepy ending.
And not something you particularly expected from the rest of the book
