Always make sure you read the book before you see the movie. Usually, the book is waaaaaaaayy better than the movie. Especially in this case. I believe the book is better in this situation because in the movie they change the ending and it doesn't have as much emotion as the book origninally had.
Pictured here is Kate and Anna laying on the bed together, talking like they usually did.
