I didn't read the book, the movie is not the best ad for it
As someone who didn't read the book I have to say this is a really bad ad for the book (although I hear it's way better than the movie). The writing in the movie is so cheesy and I cringe so hard at the acting especially of the actor potraying the president's son. The actor potraying the prince was way better but I think the lines were also very cheesy so I'm more so impressed with how he managed to act it so well. Regardless after forty minutes I wasn't able to watch the movie, because it was painful to watch so I had to literally consiously decide to pay half the attention so that I wouldn't feel all that cringe. I do believe the book is better but whilst most movies inspire me to read the book this one actually discoured me.
