I read this book awhile ago and I was really looking forward to the TV version. Unfortunately the only thing that seems to hold true to the book is the title. I know that the movie is almost never as good as the book but I expected it to at least follow the story line a little bit. I mean according to the book point 1. She was dumped on her cell phone in her car. 2. Cricket's husband is not friends with Kenny and he certainly never cheated on her. 3. Joan really did go to France with Pappy and she did NOT go to rehab, hence Molly never dressed up as a hooker to break her out. 4. Molly actually goes on a date with Kenny's boss. He tells her that he wants to stage his own funeral so he can see what people say about when they think he's dead. She finds out the next morning that instead of just pretending he decided to kill himself. He already had the perfect ending planned for his story. Which if you've caught on means that the Sam was never suspected of killing him. The police where looking for him but for a different reason. 6. Molly's best friend the designer never goes broke and Lavender never get's evicted from her apartment, she gets hit by a car driven by a teenage punk living in the colony. I could go on but I think I have made my point. I have never seen a good book as completely butchered as this one. Now if you have never read the book and you don't know how much better it is none of this should bother you.
