Hmm, that's a hard one since I just think of the TV show as the book brought to life. I think it's the actors and the production design. When you write, you leave a lot of negative space — not just in a novel but in a script. The people who have to interpret what you wrote and present it on screen — like our production designer, Sharon Lomofsky, and our costume designer, Leah Katznelson — not to mention our absolute murderers' row of actors, are the ones who make it better. Like, I don't know what rich people's apartments look like, or how they dress. When I watch the show, it feels to me like the book, only maybe a little better? — Taffy
