Based on the Harrison Ford/Julia Ormond move of the same name, Sabrina is the story of a girl who is in love with the rich, handsome, and seemingly unobtainable David Larrabee. Sabrina and David grew up together but he's barley aware that she exists because she doesn't compare to the beautiful and chic women David is use to. However, after a year in Paris, Sabrina comes home quite changed and David quickly becomes enamored with her. David soon forgets his new fiancé, Elizabeth, but his older brother Linus isn't so quick to forget, especially since Linus has business plans Elizabeth's father. Linus cooks up a scheme to tear David and Sabrina apart that will leave no one's feeling unscathed, even his own.

Sabrina is one of my favorite movies and the book captures the movie well. Sabrina's characterization is done well but the author didn't totally capture the sophistication of Julia Ormond's performance. On the other hand, her description of Linus was dead on. It's always interesting to see a movie you've watched many times from the eye of an author. Reading about thoughts and details that the movie didn't include were fun as well. Sabrina stands on it's own as a book and even people who haven't seen the movie should be able to enjoy it.
