I finally read the book after rewatching the limited series on Hulu. The source material is just as good. The plot was addictive and I loved how the author made The Richardsons so obvious. We know this family exists. I love how every character in the series and the book are very complex and nuanced. This gets a 5/5 from me

It was okay, kind of like a movie that you see when flipping through channels and you land on it, and you don’t change away from it because it’s justtt good enough to keep your attention.

Well written, even if some of the characters and situations were infuriating. There were moments when I “awwwww’d” and moments when I was too frustrated to read another word. Overall I found the book sad, but in a good way.
