Book Vs Movie: Verity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Verity is the kind of psychological thriller that dares you to pick a side and then punishes you for feeling confident. We’re kicking off a brand-new book vs movie segment by putting Colleen Hoover’s Verity under a microscope, comparing what the film adaptation keeps, what it cuts, and what it quietly rewrites in a way that changes who looks guilty. If you’ve ever left a theater thinking, “That’s not how it felt when I read it,” you’re going to feel seen.
We get into the biggest tonal shift first: the book makes Verity feel like a true villain, while the movie sometimes frames her more like a victim, and that single change ripples through everything. We talk character development, suspense, and why the story’s fear factor depends on how dark you believe Verity really is. Then we dig into the twist that keeps fans arguing the hardest: is the manuscript the truth, or is the hidden letter the truth? We break down why the lack of confirmation is so intentional, and why Lowen’s silence becomes its own kind of answer.
From there, we follow the questions to the person we think deserves way more suspicion: Jeremy. How involved is he, really? Could parts of this be a setup, a cover, or a plan hiding behind grief and charm? We also unpack the speed of the relationship, the trauma-bond energy, the movie’s ending choices, and even that shocking opening scene that grabs you by the collar and never lets go.

New Book Vs Movie Segment
TashaHey book and staddies, welcome to Black Girls Live. We're fine women, fine literature, and find my basic collab.
SPEAKER_00Step into the Lip Live. Black Girls Lip starts now. Black Women are still complex.
TashaHey y'all, and welcome, welcome to our new segment here on Black Girls Lip Podcast. We are going to be comparing books to movies. Now we have not worked out a title for this segment yet, um, because as you guys know, I wanted to call it Who Wore It Best. And I think that I was vetoed. Um, so we're still taking suggestions on our book versus movie.
SPEAKER_00I don't think you were vetoed. It's still in it's just still in the works. I just think we we're still playing with some things.
TashaOkay, but we for sure are gonna be comparing books to movies, and this first episode is gonna start out with Verity. Um, it's a book written a couple years ago. Um, Colleen Hoover, correct? Yes, yes, our girl Colleen Hoover. Yes, and the movie just came out. Okay, we we lost off for a second. Okay, here she goes. She's back, she back. Yeah, um, but the movie just came out, so we want to do a little comparison. Now I've heard some people complaining about the movie. Um, I don't know, I don't know like the overall reviews, but I know I saw like a couple of bad reviews online. Um, I I'm not sure why. I did not dislike the movie, but we'll get into all that in a second, as far as how we felt about the book compared to the
First Reactions To Verity
Tashamovie and um a couple discussions. But before we start, just a reminder our um audiobook walk event is on Saturday. We are all out of tickets. Yay, our first event. Um yeah, so everybody who wanted everybody who got their ticket, please be there. We will see you Saturday, 10 a.m. at Swanny Town Center Stage. Um, followed up with a little fellowship and drinks at Tequila Mama. Um, hopefully it's a great turnout, a great time, and this will just be the first of many BGL events. Yay! Not sold out. Okay, we're a little popular or whatever. Okay, so let's just jump right into this book versus movie. How do we feel about it? Um let me start off. Okay. I definitely preferred the book to the movie. The movie wasn't bad though. Um, it was it actually was pretty on par with the book as far as the theme of it and everything, and I mean the whole tone of it. Um but I definitely preferred the book, and I to me I don't think that the main Verity was like dark enough in the movie as she was in the book. In the book, I hated that bitch. I was like, I was like enraged at points, like what the and I feel like they didn't push that part and go that deep into it um as much in the movie. Because even like um, because I took Alba with me to see it, and I feel like he didn't hate her, he didn't hate Verity the way I hated Verity when I read the book. So for me, book definitely was a winner, but the movie was the movie was good too, though.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Um, I I agree. I'm definitely in the same. I think had I not read the book, the movie would have pissed me off, quite frankly, because it just didn't have the depth that the book did on the character development. So I do agree with that. And then that was probably the biggest the biggest difference for me that I noticed in the movie and why it didn't necessarily have the same feel was that the Verity's character in the movie seemed like more of a victim than a villain. Um yeah, in the movie. In the in the book, she definitely seemed more like a villain, and um the the co-writer seemed more like timid and afraid, and I felt like that was shifted in the movie, and I don't necessarily know that I loved that dynamic.
LexI think it took away from the story, but you let's so I will say so. The book came out in 2018, so this is like it's almost a decade um since the book came out. So, and I think I read it closer to like when the book came out. So I say that to say it's been a minute since I've read the book. So, really, the main things that I remember in watching the book or yeah, watching the movie and reading the book um was the feeling of like panic the whole time. Like I was telling them my stomach was in my ass the entire time because I was like, oh my god, what's gonna happen? Is she gonna move? Is she not? What's going to happen? Um, so I think like that suspenseful feeling, like the writers did a really good job of capturing that in the movie, because I definitely felt the suspense for sure the entire time. Um but I agree with Star, like on the character development. Um, but also knowing like movies, you have what two hours max before you start to lose people. So, like naturally book detail versus movie detail, you're gonna lose a lot. And I think like a part of the reason why maybe Verity felt more like we hated her, is that actually in the book she lost two children because there was three kids and two of the three passed away suspiciously, like, okay, so your kid's just up and dying now, like what's going on. And I think that added
Villain Or Victim Differences
Lexto like the the villain factor, but also just that she was like a shitty person, too. Like she just yeah, she wasn't great. So what she did to the baby, so we thought, or so we thought, or so we thought, but she's a master manipulator, so I don't know who okay.
TashaSo that brings me to my question because Avin was like, well, wait a minute. What she like, which side is true? And I I was under the impression that the letter, like, I mean, that she really was a this nice innocent person, and that she that the letter, I I took that the letter she wrote at the end to be true. Avin was questioning it, like, no, I don't know. She was a manipulator, and was the letter a lie or was the manuscript a lie? And I was like, Oh, I never even considered that.
SPEAKER_00I was like, oh, the poor thing was a victim, she was just it's it, and I think that is the whole point, and the way that it ended was so that we could have so that we and everybody else could have this conversation, right? And try to determine what was actually the lie. And we never got the confirmation in the book. Um, and correct me if I'm wrong, because I you know me, sometimes I'll get to the end of a book and won't finish the last five minutes or something weird, but I'm pretty sure that I actually went all the way through and finished the book. But we didn't get the confirmation that we needed from the husband, right? In the book or the movie to confirm did he know, you know, and was it true? Because she never said anything. Um, what was her name? I think I feel like her name was two different things in the book and the movie. Was it Lowen? Yeah, she ate the letter in the book. She, yeah, she got rid of it. She never, she never mentioned it to him at all in the book or the movie to get that confirmation for us, right? Because that that would have confirmed which truth was the lie, right? If he would have, if she would have just asked him, like, did you know, did you find this, did you read this, did you see it before I gave it to you? And she never did have that conversation with him and get the confirmation. So I I think in both the book and the movie, it was intentional to leave us on this cliffhanger with the question of the master manipulator and did she or didn't she?
LexAnd honestly, though, and talking about this, I feel like she was lying the whole time because isn't it a little crazy? You're gonna try to kill your wife once, but twice and be successful. I'm I mean, we're giving out spoilers, right?
SPEAKER_00Like, we know we did tell them, yeah, there are definitely spoiler alerts.
LexSo we're gonna so we know the fur, at least in the yeah, I think in both, he tried to kill her the first time because he had because like something had been revealed that she had killed uh Harper. Right, because he read that manuscript.
SPEAKER_00Allegedly, he read the manuscript.
LexBecause he read the manuscript. So he tried to kill her that time and was unsuccessful. And now, magically, Loan, the woman that he's like sleeping with on the side and wants to be with now, reveals the same manuscript over again as if he didn't already know that this manuscript existed, and so he's going to then attempt and then be successful this time and kid like that much to me.
SPEAKER_00So let me tell you the question that I had. So I heard everybody asking the question, like, was Verity telling the truth? You know, and was this really an exercise, like a writing exercise, right? My question was, how involved was the husband? Like, I never even questioned, I never, I don't think I ever questioned Verity. Like, once it came out that this was allegedly a writing exercise, I believed that. What I started to question at that point was, did the husband come up with these this elaborate bring someone else in and plant the manuscript and put her in the office for her to find it and give it to him so that it could be a second? So that, yeah, so that there could be this justification. But then how would he have known that she was gonna go down this rabbit hole with him? And then that led me to thinking, well, like, was it his whole plan from the very beginning to seduce her and get her buy-in so that he would have a partner in crime to make it be successful? Like after, you know, for the second time. I I just the wheels really started spinning with that plot twist of finding that letter that Verity had written and was hidden in the um in the floorboard.
TashaLike that's one thing I think because you is you said was Loan like the villain, and but because in the movie she definitely was more villainous than in the book. She was more as in the book, but that's Alan was like, um, wait a minute. He was like, the little um co-author this one. She used she's he said that she was the murderer and she used the husband as the weapon. And I was like, huh? She was like, um, no, the way she was like, Oh, look on this camera, your wife is alive, you know, she doing this and that. She was he was like, she totally manipulated him into killing his wife so she can have the life and everything. Like she told her, she was like, I'm taking your life, your job, your mother.
Manuscript Vs Letter Truth Debate
SPEAKER_00But but see, that and that's the major difference. And that's not saying, like, that was the major difference in her character in the book versus the movie. So, like in the movie, she was definitely that person, she was definitely the villain. And when she came down with that red dress on, I said, Lord animation, not the red dress. Like, girl, why the dress is when you gonna put on that red dress? Like, you knew what you were doing then. So that I do agree, and I but I think I didn't like that spin. Like, that's the thing in the movie because I up until that point, it was for the movie was following very closely with the book. And then that little piece, it seemed like a little thing, but it completely changed the storyline from that point on. It completely changed the storyline because in the book, she was she was terrified. Like she was scared to be in the house, like there was this constant, you know, angst and all of that. And yeah, Farody's character was this dark, kind of like haunting figure, right? That was pretty much like torturing her when nobody else was looking. So she thought she was, you know, like losing her mind in the book. Yeah, you know, she was like popping pills and all that, so it completely that little twist in the movie completely changed the storyline from my perspective.
TashaCan we talk about how quickly their relationship developed? But in both the movie and the book, like oh yes, two weeks, like wasn't even a whole two weeks, like it was actually pretty disgusting.
LexLike, I was like, even if your wife is like this master manifest, like, even to the point where we're like mimicking sexual positions and things, like come on now. That that was a lot for me. It was pretty, it was very boring part. That was like, Yeah, like come on now, you're weird, you're weird.
SPEAKER_00Can we talk about how Jeremy in the movie was not as sexy as Jeremy in the book? Like, did anybody else picture like Jeremy in the book was like the finest white man that I've ever heard that I've ever come across in my life? In the movie, I was so disappointed. I was like, he was he was this all their budget could afford?
LexI'm sure that they're I mean they've got Ann Hathaway, and Anne, I'm sure, is not cheap.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she ate up her and uh what's the the other girl, the chick from 50 Shades. What's her name?
LexDakota, Dakota or something.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they definitely ate up the budget because Jeremy was not like this was this beefing over.
TashaI think my whole thing Alan was mad. He was like, Why? He's like the author and the co-author, they look too much alike. He's like I couldn't tell who he, I didn't know when we was in a dream, who he was thinking. He was supposed to one could have been blonde and the other one could have been darker. He's supposed to. I kept getting confused, it was too much for me.
SPEAKER_00But I think that was the point, right? I also think that was intentional because he had a type. So, and that's what I'm saying. That's what led me to the how involved was the husband in manipulating this whole situation, especially once they revealed that Verity never even read this girl's book, she didn't know who she was, right? Like, that was all him, you know what I'm saying? So, like, yeah, I definitely started to think about how much the husband was behind it. Like, was he pulling the strings and manipulating the situation? Was he the real villain? Like, I don't know. Maybe he killed the kids. No, I'm just kidding.
LexNo, but um they didn't allude to that. One thing I will give Verity Baby Girl was an actor for real, because you're gonna be in a vegetative comatose state for was it months, unblinking, unmoving, just and then all of a sudden she's like I'll give it to her. Like, she acted her ass off. That that's that's commitment to the plot. She's crazy.
TashaThat's and that's crazy, like that's an insane person. Yeah, to sit there with like the drool coming out your mouth. You sit there with I cannot stand I had no dry lips, and she said with her little that part in the move, her lips were so dry, the lady, it's a vessel, put put that little balm down. She she pants bomb. So to sit there like that, like nothing's bothering you, yeah.
LexNah, I put on this facade forever. Loan sticking you with p with needles and shit, and you just yeah, she started putting sticking that pen in her hand.
SPEAKER_00I was like, wait, Loan, hold on. This is waterline. Like now, this is at this point. I was with you, not with you, but at that point, I was like, oh no, this is too far. Like, this is abuse. It was it was a lot at that moment.
TashaYeah, Loan really, I said Loan in the movie as a seductress. I was like, she was doing the absolute most. I was like, I I don't know how I feel about her.
SPEAKER_00Like I did not like her in the in the in the movie, I definitely did not like her character. Um, in the book, I was I won't say that I was like a fan of hers, but I was she was being tormented. Verdi was the back, was the bad guy, and she was being tormented. So I definitely felt for her um and that character reading the book. Like she definitely had my like, oh, happily ever after. I'm glad she got her happily ever after. She deserved it. But in the movie, no.
TashaOkay, so I guess this brings me to the question, right? So if let's say for for for kicks and giggles, let's say that the letter was was the actual truth, and it was like, hey, dude, so Jeremy at this point, he's killed his wife. She's now Lo and she's pregnant and they going off to start their new life. Does she say something to him, or just is it like no? She gotta just take that secret to the grave with her.
SPEAKER_00I think she had to take it to the grave because if she didn't, if she said anything to him, then that destroys even her picture of him. Because if you think about right, everyone has this idea of this of the person who like whoever it is, right? So he had this idea that Loan was this sweet, innocent, unknown author, right? But she's really plotting and manipulating and sticking the comatose uh wife with pushpins
Was Jeremy Pulling Strings
SPEAKER_00and stuff, threatening to take her family and her job and her whole life. And then you have Loan who thinks, oh God, here Jeremy is this loving husband and father, and he was being manipulated by this treacherous woman. And oh, I just want to be the perfect woman for him and make it all right. So if she would have said anything, she would have had to face the fact that he wasn't this innocent, loving person that she had envisioned and thought that he was. She would have had to face the fact that, oh, he's crazy like her. He he tried to kill her and it didn't work. And now we're killing her again.
LexYeah. And I think also you also have to ask the question like, out what lengths would you go to secure your happiness and sense of security? Because I think in both the move, the book, too, like she's Loan is like the struggling author that like this nobody author. She's about to get evicted out of this her apartment, and then all of a sudden, like she's in this mansion, and like essentially her future is secured, and all she has to do is finish this lady's series and like write these books. But then also because like she fell in love with the man, and like she is also like equally part involved in this woman's death and murder. So, like her telling him or confronting him, I think that opens up a bunch of possibilities for like everything that she had going on to get blown up too. And so it's like at what length will you go to make sure that you are secure and what you're doing?
TashaLike, can we understand? Listen, can we understand though, like why Jeremy? I mean, I'm not justifying, you know, going out here trying to kill trying to kill you why, but can we understand why he tried to kill her like with a car wreck and even like after? If you read that and you think that this lady literally has been trying to kill your kids since before they were born, like how that could push you over the edge, and then to find out she's been playing sick for months, like girl, I've been wiping your behind. I was wiping your behind, and you were here playing games.
LexYeah, yeah, but he should have just left the first time. I think, like, honestly, he should have just counted his blessings, sick or not. Do I ever believe that somebody deserves to die? No. Take care. But like, you're lucky she didn't fucking die. So at that point, you know, she from all you know, because at that point I think they weren't sure how long her state was going to last after the accident. He should have just packed it up and left then. Like, if that's really what it was, like if he really didn't want anything to do with her, like what compelled him to stay?
TashaWith their other child, so one day just open no he would he set a bunch of stuff up because now when you just said I'm like, wait a minute, if he really thought that that manuscript was true, why he ain't just put her in a home and gone by his business with his son, like why he brought her home to take care of her. That makes sense.
SPEAKER_00If he thought the manuscript was true, why didn't he just turn her in initially? Why did he why didn't he just turn her in initially? Or why didn't he just leave then? Right? The vengeance and the revenge and all of that. Like he tried to kill her. How we know Jeremy didn't write the damn manuscript.
TashaOkay, but you said why he didn't turn her in. If somebody tried, if somebody killed your child, I feel like you move, you're not really moving on logic at that point. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I and I may or may not agree or disagree to maybe perhaps if by chance something like that were to ever, maybe, yeah, I get it.
LexSo but still, why would you go back though? Why would you go back one alive child child in the same house as their crazy ass mama?
SPEAKER_00That means because maybe he was thinking because they didn't know for sure the extent of her injuries, that if she would have come too, then she would have been, she would have told, she would have been in a position to tell them that he's the one that tried to kill her. And now he's on the run with the kid, and now he's the bad guy, and he's the villain. It it was it was a lot, it was a lot going on.
LexMessy, yeah.
SPEAKER_00I think at the end of the day, when you start to pick it apart, you they were all the bad guy. It was no good guy. The only person that was an innocent bystander was crew, right?
LexBecause he's just a baby trying to live his life.
SPEAKER_00He was just trying to live his life and barely talking to him, talking to him when ain't nobody looking. So the people think he's crazy because he outside waving to her. And girl, they poor crew. I he was definitely gonna need some therapy for sure. Now I will so my my question, how did you guys feel about the so ultimately in the book and the movie, the ending was the same, like the ending result was the same, right? Verity was actually killed, um, but in two different ways. How did you feel about the the ways that she that it came from?
TashaThe movie didn't make no sense. The way they killed her in this lady ain't moved in much, she can't turn her head, but we supposed to think that she woke up and stumbled out to the late. Like, girl, I was so mad that they did.
SPEAKER_00I didn't understand that it was so unnecessary, and then from that point on, everybody else was stupid because even the cops like y'all are investigating now and y'all believe in this. Like, come on. So she just woke up, she woke up in the middle of the night after not moving and being in a vegetative state for months. She got up and walked out to the lake and drowned. Shut the hell up.
LexWell, maybe I will say they had a little bit of a cover because nobody but the people who were in that house knew the state that Verdi was in. How bad she was. And yeah, they knew there was an accident, but they didn't know that she was like in this comatose, like veget vegetative state. So that's like the only thing that covered them a little bit. But I will say I do think the film death did draw more like symbolism because it's like, oh, we're putting her in the lake that like she killed killed her baby in. So like I I I got why they like romanticized that in that way. Um, but I think there was just that was just a messy way to dispose of a body and like to just do the whole thing. Um, but I I see why they did it that way, just as like to romanticize the whole thing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, there was definitely, that was definitely the the reason. And I got it, right? It was it was the Hollywood way. Um I hated it though. And then that and then that cop, like you want to autograph? Like, what's happening right now? Like, when's the next book coming out?
LexLike, oh god, I was so irritated. That was gross. Yeah, that that was someone's someone has died.
The Ending Death Debate
LexSomeone has died.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like that, that pissed me all the way off. Like, there was no point, there was no other point in the movie that I was literally like mad at that part. Like when they were at the dock, and I said, This is what they came up with, like absolutely. She stumbled in the night and fell in the way.
TashaBut like when I was a little bit stuck on, like, because I mean, you know, um, especially so I know you you love a good thriller, but like, so when her talking about you know, like the manuscript and this whole writing style, you know, this writing exercise, it just made me think like, okay, so these writers who write like this crazy dark stuff, like really, what is their head like? Like, what is it? Do I want to hang out with them? Do I want to be in their world? Because if if they gotta do these crazy exercises and be in these dark places in their mind, like I I'm be looking at you like this all the time. Like, I nah, I could not be a suspense, a thriller, uh no kind of scary writer. Like, I it feels too dark to me. Y'all, y'all know I love me a little rainbow and clouds.
SPEAKER_00Because that means at any given moment, like you're you're thinking about killing me.
LexRight, you're thinking of your next storyline, and I don't like that. But I don't like it, I think my question, and this literally has nothing to do with like the grand storyline or anything. I just think this part was significant significantly unnecessary in both the book and the movie. This bicyclist getting his head popped like a grape at the beginning of the movie and the beginning of the book. But why for? I'm trying to try to figure out like, is there some symbolism doing it? Because if it was just for the matter of like Lowell and Jeremy meeting, Colleen Y. Why did this bicyclist have to get get off? And she had to be just covered in his blood, like way, like that was a lot, and I don't know if it was just solely a reason, a way to like pull the reader in to be like, oh, what is this? But I was like, that's that's from page one, for page one, buckle up, y'all. Page one, first 30 seconds of the film. And I'm in my head, I'm like, what is there like a significance to this? Is there symbolism to this? But I couldn't find it.
SPEAKER_00So I think now it will, it was, it was insane, but it definitely it definitely did the job and drew you in immediately. And I it's funny because I was wondering what that was gonna look like in the movie. If they I was wondering when I sat down, are they gonna leave that part out? Like, do we because I had the same thought. Did we need it? Did we need that part? And in the book, I don't think that we needed it per se. In the movie, I think it was a little significant because it showed how I feel like it showed how detached she was, and that she was literally just kind of going through the motions and like going through life, right? Because she was in this, there was this whole kind of like internal monologue at the beginning that says, you know, she she's not the type of person, she was this introvert, right? And she the big city suited her because she could literally just disappear in the big city, like she was nobody was paying her any attention or anything. And I think the extreme of that incident and her literally having this man's like brain matter and guts and stuff all over her body, and going into a coffee shop and rinsing off in the sink and continuing to go on with her day and go to the meeting, like like that didn't happen. And she never even mentioned it to the publisher, like to the like she never even mentioned it that you know, she just kind of let him go on this banter of like, oh, well, you're usually late, and that's why I told you. And is that what you put on? And not no compassion or mention of like, well, damn, her mom just died, or hey, she just literally saw somebody's guts and brain splattered on the floor, walking all over her. She, yeah, like it. I think it served a purpose visually more so in the movie for us to see, to really see just how detached from reality that she was. Yeah. I think that's a good point. Maybe that's what it was then. But she's like, I guess we didn't need it as much in the in the book, but in the I think because they had a shortened time period for that character development, it did help in the movie for you to see like right off how disconnected she was. Because that was crazy.
TashaBut I thought the purpose of it was to
That Cyclist Scene And Detachment
Tashaimmediately like form that bond between Loan and Jeremy. Like, hey, there you know, sometimes you know, you go through something with somebody, it automatically like brings you brings you a little bit closer, and so I thought that was like the an initial attraction. Like, I mean, beyond just like, oh, you're cuter, you're cute, which apparently Jeremy in the movie was not cute enough to star, but it was like so it was it was an initial, like, this is bringing us together, you know. People people love a good trauma bond, you know. People people love a trauma bond now.
SPEAKER_00They do for sure.
LexYeah, but we but still worth the watch, worth the read, I think.
TashaIf you like definitely, I think I thought the movie I I may have judged the movie a little bit harder, only because again, you know, when you're comparing, because you when you read a book and they like said they don't have enough time to give you the details that you know already about the character. So it's like the whole time you're watching, um, you're watching a movie, you're just looking at to pick it apart for oh, wait a minute. Oh, and just oh wait, that's that's not what she's supposed to do. She supposed to have three kids, not two, you know, and you're doing that. So um, overall, like I said, they good storyline on both. I would definitely hey tip, go ahead and watch it. The the movie was a little more just like jump scare because when she did like this, and I was like, ooh, definitely.
SPEAKER_00And knew it was knew it was coming and still didn't have time. I was like, I know you fucking lying. Like, hold on now. Like, did nobody else see her? Hello. She just, oh, you just looking at me?
LexLike, oh hell no. It was that one, and when she like came to, I it was very subtle, but it still got me. Cause I said, This bitch is crazy. She said, Well, wait a minute. I said, Whoa.
SPEAKER_00But was she down when she when they were after they went out and came back in and was in the kitchen? I'm like, when in the book she was at the top of the stairs, and she kind of like looked in the distance. I'm like, is this a camera? Is the bitch right there? Like, it's a lot going on. Like, pack it up. Like, you you continued on with the ether, pack it up. I'm about to go. Like, she can't walk my ass. She was just literally right there. Like, I would have there's nothing sexy. There's nothing sexy about this anymore. Like, I'm out of here.
TashaIf I'm buried, I'm thinking, oh, Alvin, this are we doing?
LexThis is I'm I'm still not coming too immediately. Lisa, we doing immediately. Yeah, I would have packed it up. I got enough material to finish this book. I'll see y'all later.
SPEAKER_00Like, what? Because if she not if she's not faking, she's a ghost.
LexEither way, I'm out of here. Like, what is happening? Email me the notes, do what you gotta do. Cause we do have a contract, and I do need this money, but I will.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it was it was a lot of things that she was just like okay with. Like, oh, you girl, you know you don't have to stay. I don't. So yeah, but I agree, Tasha. Overall, um, it was there were the the notes, obviously, watching it and that kind of ongoing comparison, but I I think this is one of the few movies that actually did a good job. Um adaptation for sure. Yeah, a good adaptation for sure. Yeah, I think it was very well done, consider all things considered.
