Yes! We recently rewatched and might have to do a season 1 book recap soon because this was too much fun. And get out that your book was on The Affair!! I need to watch so I can find it — talk about fun 💚
was surprised and really delighted that Belinda got a chance for some bongada bongada with what's his face. The other character I deeply love is Chelsea
Finally finished. Holy cow! The reason I decided to binge was I wanted to listen to the Daily Beast podcast (my fav) that was going to reveal all the WL secrets. They interviewed the producer and he talked about the huge uproar about the music for the opening sequence. Big public tussle (insults flying back and forth in the press) after fans swore they were going to commit suicide because the composer had made a clean break with the music in seasons 1 and 2. I had no idea. I guess I don’t do enuf social media…
As an avid reader myself…I freaking loved this breakdown and angle. This show is RIPE with themes and I think it all gets lost in the glamour and the high aesthetic. I took a slightly different angle… Despite wanting to NOT be them more than anytihng in the world… I think the Ratliffs are us. Sorry. Here it is… https://substack.com/home/post/p-160301391
I must’ve been too stressed to notice the books💀but I love this show—season 2 was perfect to me, no notes—so I relished this little dive into what the characters are reading📖🤩
OMG, the subject of this Substack is so creative! I am always oblivious to little Easter Eggs left in tv shows. Thanks for making me smile. 😁
Had so much fun doing this one!!
Love this so much! Season 1 of White Lotus also had great books 📚!
Do you remember the show, The Affair? My book, Shout Her Lovely Name, appeared face out on the therapist’s bookshelf! It was such a thrill!

Finally binging WL and the books just jumped out at me…quite sure I would not have noticed them but for your keen eye. Merci
So jealous of the binge!!

I had no idea about the music! Waiting impatiently for the next season... only an entire year to go.
Chelsea! The best. Also, I will forever be using “bongada bongada” from now on.
Love this! I also thought Belinda and Laurie’s reads were on point- I missed seeing Victoria’s but so perfect
Cannot wait to see what Sunday brings!!

Can't wait to read! Complicated characters that we love to hate (and hate to see ourselves in) make for such good tv.
Yay! Let’s discuss once u dig in!! Thanks for reading!
Haven’t started this season yet, but love your approach. So clever!
Oooh, I’m so jealous that you have the whole season ahead of you!
Just started last nite, juicy!
Just you wait!!
ohhh very sharp eyes! I’ve also recently read an article about how The White Lotus team picks the books.

So fun!! Love this ❣️

I have loved each season, but agree that season 2 was a real gem 💚
Yay, you did it!
Ask and you shall receive!! Thanks for the inspiration 💚
What a fun one!!
Two of my favorite things colliding ✨
