I really enjoyed the TV series, and of course I was happy to support a fellow Seven Sister (she went Smith and I went to Mount Holyoke). The book was less compelling but enjoyable nonetheless. I’m glad she was able to recognize her privilege and that’s certainly paid off with whatever she earned from the book and the show in income, fame, and other opportunities and benefits.
Maybe because the series diverged and had a lot more to say, the book felt incomplete. I also found myself trying to draw lines between the characters on the pages and on the screen.
I think I would’ve liked to know what was written more than what was. There were a lot of things that felt insufficiently discussed. I’ll have to satisfy those gaps with the show.
