I thought the finale was good. Except for the hanging thread of Izzy.

In the book she doesn’t know where she ends up and basically spends the rest of her life wondering where she went.

In the movie despite some angst hard to believe she'd never see her dad and siblings again. Was their relationship colder in the book?

That ending could have easily been worked into the show.

The book has an entire chapter (more?) dedicated to how DIFFICULT Izzy was as a baby and how Elena never bonded with her, and basically resents Izzy her entire life. Elena pits the siblings against each other.

All I remember is crying when it read the Elena spends her life checking each street corner when she passes, hoping for a glimpse of Izzy someday...

A group of siblings are "inspired" by their whiny sister to burn down their house? Just like that? Teenagers love their stuff. There's just no way. WTF.

And Izzy just...leaves? With no money, no clothes, and no friends? How did she buy a bus ticket? She must be totally mental if her dream is that Mia will pick her up and become her mom. Mia is an even bigger loon than Elena.

And LOL to the adoptive parents who--what?--left a window wide open for Bebe to crawl into? Did they also prop up a ladder on the side of the house to make it easier for her? Or maybe they just left the doors unlocked and cookies on the kitchen counter in case she wanted a snack? SO STUPID and unbelievable--literally, I don't believe it. And Bebe was in Niagara Falls--is she escaping to Canada? (Also, the wife there is NEVER going to forgive her husband for discouraging her to check on the baby. That's a divorce.)

And Elena just...remembers a bird feather from 7 years ago?

And Mia...good grief. You'd think she's all cried out, but...nope! Still a deep reserve of self-pity and lip-quivering. And she told Parl her parents disowned her. Another lie. They told her not to come to the funeral. That's not disowning. Mia was judgmental as hell then, and she still is. Of all the characters on this show, she is the one I have the least sympathy for.

I agree that the idea of all siblings contributing to the fire was unrealistic.

But then why was there that scene after book club with Mia and Elena sitting on the couch...Pretty much the only moment things are pleasant between Mia and Elena... Elena saying how much she loves her child, like devouring an apple or whatever. She's talking about how difficult things are with her, because she loves her so much.

Totally agree

Totally disagree. Bill was a crappy father and crappy husband. Never once stood up for Izzy, just told her to keep her head down and take the abuse. Had no idea what was going on with his other kids. Went on a joy ride smoking weed while his wife had a mental breakdown and left the kids to deal with it. Never helped her with the kids when they were younger. No respect for him.

Weed? Looked like a good ol Marlboro to me.

Yea, unless it’s a blunt, you don’t hold joints like a cig, they don’t stay together. Plus there was a filter. What weed were you smoking in ‘97 that had a filter?

You voiced all my irritation and then some. The lawyer husband would NEVER have let Elena confess. Oh well. At least I was a little surprised at the ending, and who set the fires.
