So, hey, I saw G.O.T.T. twice: once with book club friends, once with my best friend (who saw it with her husband).

I don't know what to say really except I think the film brings richer dimension to the book. Both the book and film speak clearly about socially taboo relationship issues, such as: cheating, drinking to kill emotional pain, very poor boundaries, perceptions about status and wealth and a number of other issues with respect for relationship violence ---- all things I do not like, but I do like how the book and the film give the audience a way to process how one feels about such tragedy.

So, that said, I think I can say that the film and the book did a job well done, portraying this kind of social issue, in a fictional sense, although survivors of abuse, such as myself and others, find this topic triggering.
