You didn't get the most obvious answer? In the book, Ethan and Mattie never kiss, unlike the movie where Zeena hears them and calls it a dying animal.

Excuse me, do these effectivly hide my thunder?

Actually, they do kiss near the end of the book

Mattie has dark hair in the novel.

Be carefull not to get sunburnt, or we will have to rub you down with SPF SEXY!

Uhm, Mattie and Ethan do kiss towards the end of the book actually..

So all they did was kiss? The way she acted so guilty, I thought they must have had sex at least once.

I thought the film was great, although I didn't like the constant giggling of Mattie.

Book adaptations are always different from the book and liberties with the text are always made.
