[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]

Well, that is pretty much how it's shown on screen too.  Mia makes Lexie tea, puts clean sheets on the bed for her, and just generally comforts her.  It's only when Lexie asks her if she made the right decision that Mia explodes - that seemed to come out of nowhere and was very strange to me.[/quote]

In the book she comforts her through and through. Mia is generally a very good person in the book.[/quote]
