Yes yes yes! I had the exact same moment last night! I get so excited when I see former Buffyverse writer names in things and my husband is always like, "Who? How do you know these people?"

I started reading the book and stopped. I want to go back to it. I can say already that I think the book's a teeny bit better. I wanted to see that level of detail in the movie. But I still loved the movie! Sarcasm is my spirit animal :)
