Horribly boring, why anyone would make this into a movie is beyond me...

Didn't know they were making a film but it looks ok.

The book is pretty good to be fair, it isn't as good as it is hyped up to be. But it isn't a bad book either.

It literally is. There were big adverts up in the London train stations.

Read it over a weekend a couple months ago with my exgf, wildly predictable airport schlock tailor-made to be sold to Hollywood.

There are many books with girl in the title. There are also just as many if not more with man in the title.

Pretty irrelevant given that the article mentions a specific trend that people in the business actually say is happening. Why call it a 'conspiracy' anyway? It's hardly a complete tinfoil-wearing implausibility that publishers try to remind customers of previously successful books.

Well seen as Goodreads has pretty much every book known in its database and there is considerably more titles with man in them compared to girl then it obviously isn't.
