The huge book ending change explained"},"content":{"rendered":"

Campus Drivers has finally landed on Prime Video, and if you were expecting Lane and Lois to get their happy ending, we\u2019ve got some news. The French romance series has made a pretty huge change to C.S. Quill’s books<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prime Video really is dominating in the YA genre right now. Following on from Off Campus<\/a>, Every Year After<\/a> and Sterling Point<\/a> is Campus Drivers, a new six-part show based on Quill\u2019s book series of the same name. <\/span><\/p>\n

Season 1 is based on the novel Fast Lane. It follows Lois (Carmen Kassovitz), who finds herself homeless after her boyfriend Max (Enzo Lorente) dumps her shortly after they arrive at Belrose University.<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, she ends up moving in with Lane (Baptiste Masseline), who runs the Campus Drivers rideshare app. And despite his reputation for avoiding relationships, the pair start developing feelings for each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

But things aren’t exactly straightforward. Lane is still struggling with the death of his brother Mike. And his refusal to open up repeatedly pushes Lois away.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the finale, Lane finally reveals what happened to Mike, and Lois helps him confront the guilt he’s been carrying. They admit their feelings for each other, and for a moment, it looks like they’re finally getting their happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Lane\u2019s mother Daphn\u00e9 (Nathalie Besan\u00e7on) has other ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, yes and no. Lane and Lois finally get together in Campus Drivers episode 6, but the season ends on a pretty devastating cliffhanger.<\/span><\/p>\n

Daphn\u00e9 announces that she’s transferring Lane to a university in Los Angeles so he can pursue his passion for filmmaking. \u201cYou and I will live there together,\u201d she says. When he refuses, she threatens to have Lois\u2019 medical scholarship revoked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than risk ruining Lois\u2019 future, it appears Lane gives in. In the last scene of the finale, Lois returns to their apartment and discovers movers packing everything up. Lane is nowhere to be seen, and when she tries calling him, he doesn’t answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, have they broken up? Not officially. We never actually see Lane leave for LA, and the show doesn’t confirm whether their relationship is over. But it’s certainly not the ending fans of the books were expecting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the series, Quill\u2019s first novel, Fast Lane, gives Lane and Lois a happy ending.<\/span><\/p>\n

The whole storyline involving Daphn\u00e9 threatening Lois\u2019 scholarship and forcing Lane to move to LA isn’t part of the book\u2019s ending. Instead, the couple overcome their problems and end up together.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, why did the adaptation change things so dramatically? Speaking to <\/span>TF1 Info<\/span><\/a>, Quill explained that she initially struggled with the idea of changing the books for the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m an avid reader, and I think I definitely belong to that group of very, very demanding readers. I had expectations, and before working on this type of project, I couldn’t understand how there could be differences between a book and a film,\u201d she explained. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was really closed-minded about it. So, of course, I was apprehensive. I’m used to the teams at my publishing house. Here, I also didn’t know who I’d be dealing with. I have a bit of a temper, too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But as soon as they met, Quill realised they had \u201cgrasped the essence of the story and the characters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
