I’ve read the book, I’ve seen the movie. I know how it ends. But guess what, it’s still a good show. The TV format catered really well to the original conceit of the book, with each episode covering a year, and was able to really explore the depth of Dex and Em’s relationship.
That being said, my age is really showing, cause I’ve become less forgiving than before of Dex’s red flag ways. I actually felt bad for the people they were in a relationship with at any given time, cause these two have been living the boy/girl bestfriend trope for decades.
