I'm not usually into that either but in this case I loved the book so much I had to try the show, and it's won me over. The thing about the book was its Australian setting and the way it examined these three women and their roles and it was just such smart writing- or at least I thought so.

I don't usually go for stories about mean girls (which, from the trailer, it seems like this has an abundance of) but the cast seems really strong.

Madeline had an affair?! Well, that's a change from the book. I love Monterey and the Bixby Bridge is beautiful in person. There was some filming going to happen last time I was up there. I don't think it was this, but who knows?
