[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not quite done with the series but it seems like the point of the show is that white women are unworthy of empathy and their aims at friendship are inauthentic because they are actually narcissistic psychopaths.  The scene after the abortion is kind of cruel, I mean, she's a teenager.  I'm waiting for Mia to point at the screen and lecture me that white women are why Hillary Clinton lost the election, and a "the more you know" rainbow to appear on the screen.  [/quote]

Book fan here. This was all for TV. There was no race issue in the book.

The post abortion scene was terrible. In the book, Mia comforts Lexie. Lexie walks in crying with the bag of pads and Mia knows right away. It’s a great book scene.[/quote]

I strongly disliked how this out-of-character scene was done in the show, because in the book, it really showed Mia as empathetic, caring and as having a really sharp eye for details. And then you see that sharp eye at the end, when the artwork Mia created about the entire family was displayed.[/quote]

Just finished watching and thought both Mia and Elena were annoying as hell in the series.  And the ending was ridiculous.  I thought some deviations from the book worked and enjoyed the 90s nostalgia (I graduated high school in '97) but it was clear the producers felt the need to[b] ramp up the drama[/b].[/quote]

Definitely this.  I watched the series, then listened to the audio book.  It was much more subtle and realistic IMO.  We barely got to know the youngest daughter and why she had such a troubled relationship with her mom.  I enjoyed both but the series is Hollywood.  [/quote]
