I watched Normal People and read both that book and this one. I was well aware of some of the short coming of this book so feel my expectations were well managed. That said I was not prepared for the dullness that followed. The force of personalility of both Bobbi and Melissa was totally absent, the passion of the affair was lacklustre.
So dull, so dull. Passionless people living dull lives. Nick was totally miscast and came across as a flop rather than caged. Frances was just wet.
The source material was pretentious but at least had something to say about power dynamics in relationships and secret passion. This was totally missing in the show. Whole scenes of nothing. The tension of the holiday scenes were missing. Awful.
