Disclaimer: I watched the show before reading the book. AND I’M SO GLAD I DID! My god Daphne and Simon were so boring. Nothing they did could get me to connect with them. And their red flags showed even heavier in the book. I don’t see how these two stayed together besides the time period where no one really divorced. The one thing I liked was that they showed Daphne and Collin as closer siblings than the show. I liked that all three of the older brothers were ready to defend Daphne if needed. Also Anthony was more of a understandable ass in the book 😆
