Here's just a quick list of everything DC changed from Megan Shull's novel (Spoilers ahead) (DC= Disney Channel, DCOM= Disney Channel Original Movie):

-In the book, Jack's starting 8th and Ellie's starting 7th. In the DCOM, they're both well into their high school years

-In the book, Jack had three brothers. DC cut Jett.

-In the book, Ellie had red hair. But they just HAD to give that role to Peyton List!

-Switching through text? Really? In the book, it was implied the nurse was a witch

-In the novel, Ellie and Jack actually kissed at the sneak out instead of fighting

-In the novel, Sassy is the main antagonist. In the DCOM, it's Aspen

-In the novel, Ellie did soccer. DC changed this to rhythmic gymnastics

-The DCOM's whole side plot of "gymnastics vs badminton team" never happened in the novel

-In the novel, they never told ANYONE what happened. In the DCOM, they told Justin

-(Most frustrating one for me) The DCOM ended with them NOT wanting their parents to get together, while the novel ends with Ellie and Jack are siblings; their parents MARRIED!!!

-"Heeeey, Jaaaack~!" Nuff said

I feel like DC changed too much of the novel to keep the same name. It was just a giant cringe-fest to me. But overall I give it a...6.4 out of 10.
