It's an adaptation of a book that came out over 40 years ago by Fullofkittens Yesterday, 6:46am PST I enjoyed the series, I saw it as an entry in the same genre as GRACE OF MY HEART (1996): A Portrait of a Woman's Success Viewed Through The Lens of All The Boys She Fucked on the Way to the Top. I enjoy that movie as well!
