The Age of Lily Bloom

In the novel, Lily Bloom is 23 years old. However, in the movie, she is portrayed as being in her mid-to-late thirties.

The Ending

The ending of the movie differs significantly from the ending of the book. In the book, Lily and Ryle get back together after separating, but in the movie, they remain separated.

The Casting of Lily

Fans of the book were initially miffed by the casting of Lily James as Lily Bloom. After all, Lily is described as having brown hair and blue eyes, while James is a blonde with green eyes.

The Timeline

The movie condenses the timeline of the book. In the book, Lily and Ryle's relationship spans over six years, but in the movie, it takes place over a much shorter period of time.

The Inclusion of Atlas

In the book, Atlas is introduced later on in the story, but in the movie, he is introduced much earlier.
