Bittersweet Ending: Portia sacrifices her job to get Jeremiah into Princeton, only to discover that Jeremiah isn't actually her son; Portia's real son declines to meet her for now. On the other hand, she is now dating Pressman, and Pressman points out that she is on the waitlist "... and that's not so bad."

Adaptation Distillation: The book is much more about Portia discovering she's unhappy with her life and grappling with that (or not, for a good chunk of it), and in fact Jeremiah possibly being her son doesn't even come up until the very end, whereas the movie foregrounds that a lot more.

Calling the Old Man Out: After learning that Jeremiah isn't her son, Portia calls her mother out for (basically) having a one night stand just to have a baby and not learning the father's name. Mom reveals that Portia was an accident and the "don't need no man" story was just a brave front; likewise Portia never told her mom about being pregnant.

Ambiguous Disorder: Jeremiah's is never stated but it caused him a lot of problems in school before going to John's academy.
