Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The new German TV show, Maxton Hall: The World Between Us, has made waves in the romance community, and this is thanks to the changes it makes to the original book. While the novel Save Me, by Mona Kasten, isn't enormously different from the series, there are enough alterations to be noticeable for fans of the books.
10 The Halloween Party From The Book Is Cut Instead, the show focuses on Ruby and James' gala event. Close One of the biggest ways that Ruby and James are brought together in both the show and the book is through the headmaster, Mr. Lexington, having them work on an event together. After James ruins Ruby's party, which was supposed to impress Mr. Lexington, they're tasked with working together so Ruby can get a recommendation letter to Oxford and James can play on the lacrosse team.
While enemies-to-lovers rom-com movies and TV shows are enormously popular, the loving and positive side of the relationships must be shown as well. This is something the Maxton Hall series does well, as showcased in the increased importance of the initials. At first, James doesn't even bother to learn Ruby's name, even calling her Robin on purpose. However, as they grow closer, the pair bond over discovering the other's middle name through the use of their initials.
7 The Show Tones Down James' Partying While he's still hedonistic, the series opts to focus on other aspects of his personality. Close Partying, drinking, and doing drugs are all characteristics that audiences associate with teenagers when they're struggling to find themselves and are trying to mask deeper issues. This is the case with James and many of his friends, who turn to these outlets to avoid the immense pressure placed on them by their parents.
However, in the book, his friends are an even bigger reason for this, as they treat Ruby terribly. Though she still faces harsh words and unwanted invasions of her privacy, it's not as terrible as in the novel. The worst of it, in both the book and show, is when she goes to the party with James, and someone pushes her into the pool.
Mortimer Beaufort is one of the biggest villains in Maxton Hall, as he treats his family terribly and comes between Ruby and James time and again. He tries to ensure that James will take on his role in the family and their business affairs by orchestrating every aspect of his life. This includes his romantic relationships, as when Mortimer catches James and Ruby together, he threatens to ruin Ruby's life if James doesn't stay away from her.
