Pretty faithful adaptation
16 March 2024
I'm a big fan of Liane Moriarty's books. I found the book had a real look at family dynamics, especially between siblings. Also, the trauma that we carry from our own childhood well into adulthood. I think most of that transferred to the mini-series and I think that it stayed true to the book. They did do a bit of a change, adding in one of the children being a homosexual. However, it didn't add nor take away from the story. I found it really interesting especially how things can change and people can condemn people without proof or conviction. I think it expressed also how parents feel as I get older with the lack of communication or respect they get from their adult children. I have to admit that I couldn't stop watching it and I've binge watching it all night. I would've liked more of a resolution that the book had, but I'm satisfied. I am certainly more satisfied with this adaptation than I was with "Big Little Lies" because that street so far from the book.
