If you loved the book, you'll most likely dislike the show.
I will say, the acting is excellent. I wish I could say the same about the adaptation.
However...I understand changing a few details, but updating the story from 1979 to 2016, changing Dana's & Kevin's relationship from married to just-met, involving a meddlesome aunt and nosey neighbors, among other major plot points and storyline, is such a disappointment and unnecessary. It changes things not needing to be changed. Character dy The original story is more than compelling enough as it is.
I was so excited to see this as a miniseries, but it falls far short of what it could be.
