New Netflix movie, My Oxford Year, is based on a novel of the same name by Julia Whelan. The film, which hit Netflix Friday, changes its ending from the book, giving a more definitive conclusion to the love story. Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest explain why they feel the more tragic ending is what the film needed.

My Oxford Year’ has officially arrived on Netflix, but the ending of the film is completely different from Julia Whelan's novel.

Before My Oxford Year was a book or a movie, Whelan was originally hired to work on a screenplay that Burnett had started. However, as she began assisting on the screenplay, Whelan thought the story needed a longer version, so she transitioned from writing a script to writing the novel.
