Here, we will be exploring the movie adaptations soon to hit screens big and small and give you the chance to read before you view.

When John and Jane meet at a mutual acquaintance’s lackluster wedding, it is lust at first sight. But before they do anything they might regret, they decide to try something different.

What will all these confessions lead to? Only time will tell.
