Was unimpressed by the TV show. Had hoped the book was better. It underwhelmed me just as much. Generally, I like this author’s works a lot, and she has many books much better than this one. One thing I enjoyed - the exaggerated and running satire all the way through to the end.

Marsha is crazy AF. I get what she was trying to do, but consent is still VERY important. She was really playing games with these people's lives. The characters were interesting and I ended up liking most of them. But Marsha was dead wrong for this whole thing.
