Trivia
Lionsgate and Pacific Standard - actress Reese Witherspoon and producer Bruna Papandrea's production company - bought the film rights to Jessica Knoll's debut novel before it had even been published. The rights were secured in April 2015, over a month before the book hit stores.

Goofs
Onscreen headlines show that Ani was in high school in the late 90s. During the flashback to Ani's high school field trip, she makes a note of witnessing a commanding woman walking on the sidewalk talking into her cell phone. This woman is speaking into a flat, rectangular smartphone that wasn't introduced until the first iPhone was released in 2007.

Quotes
[first lines]
Ani Fanelli: [narrating] It's 2015, and people still act like marriage is some kind of crowing achievement for women. That is a trap that I did not fall into. I dove in head first...

Crazy credits
The title of the movie appears at the very last second of the movie.

Decent movie but book better served as a series

The book was a million times more (not better; apples and oranges) than the movie. I don't think it's fair to expect 1.5 hours to do it justice. I can't give an unbiased review if the movie after reading the book so the movie was decent but the depth and development in the book deserves a mini series. Without the buildup, background, and character development some of the story seems incomplete and really paints a better picture of surviving/victimhood. I worry that it became more of a message than a quality story. That being said, the casting for Ani and Luke (especially) was great! I think it's a movie worth watching if you haven't read the book.
