“Years have only intensified the importance of telling women’s stories, and doing our best to ensure that women who have been forced to be silent can speak their own truths”

Dawg this is the INTRODUCTION

As a big fan of the movie, it is vastly different from the book. The book so far seems to focus a lot of Sally’s daughters and their relationship. While Jimmy in the movie played a big part, he was merely just a few pages worth in the book (thus far. He might have a more important role). The aunts seem to be absent so far as well.

Witchy ✅

Interesting so far!

So much more sexual than the movie and from what I thought

It's her sister!!!

Or her sister is in town??

Did the aunts die?

Soooo different than the movie so far

I found this book really hard to get into! I love the movie which is why I wanted to read the book but they are SOOO different and at the start of this I felt that the movie was better (I still do to an extent). Now that I have gotten pretty far into the book I am now starting to understand the writers chooses more.

So far, the movie is better

“Although she’d never believe it, those lines in Gillian’s face are the most beautiful part about her. They reveal what she’s gone through and what’s she’s survived and who exactly she is, deep inside.”
Crying.

I really wish I was enjoying this more. I've started and stopped this book multiple times over the years because I don't love the formatting of the physical book. So this morning i switched to the audio book and I think I have about an hour and a half left. In this particular instance I definitely prefer the film. I hope I enjoy the other books in the series more since I don't have anything to compare them to!

So far so good. The story is enthralling.

Quit reading it. Just was a bit too boring for me.

Re-reading this book :)

wanna watch the film but im forcing myself to read the book first

Some of the sex is off-putting because it feels a bit forced and rooted in misogyny.

this is sooooo not like the movie whatsoever

I have a bad feeling
