Why We Made this Selection and Background Knowledge
Julie: A friend had been telling me to read it and after like a year I finally did and loved it and went down a Fleetwood Mac rabbit hole and was eagerly awaiting the release of the show
Claire: I knew the book was super big in the book world. I hadn’t read it yet because I didn’t want to ruin it for myself. Normally I’m not a fan of super popular books.
Before you say which you liked better, did you read the book or listen to the audiobook… because it matters.
Julie: All of the above.
Claire: Listen! Amazing cast. I love multicast audiobooks. Julia Whelan was in this one and she’s Amazing. She played a couple of different voices, but I won’t say who because I don’t want to ruin it.
Overall Opinion of the Book
Julie: One of my absolute favorites.
Claire: Loved it.
Overall Opinion of the Show
Julie: Honestly, loved it. I was so worried they’d mess it up but for the most part, I loved it. The only thing that was a little off for me was the music.
Claire: I enjoyed it. I’m not sure I would say I loved it, but it’s something I would definitely watch again, and I’m the kind of person who only has like three shows I’ll watch over and over.
Which was better?
Julie: The book
Claire: The book
