Have you ever wondered how the soul of a book fares on its journey to the screen? In this episode, Mikelah and Kerry-Ann share candid reflections on Hulu's "Black Cake" series adaptation and its rich literary origins by Charmaine Wilkerson. 

Join us as we compare Hulu's adaptation and the original book. We tackle the complexities inherent in depicting family secrets, cultural identity, and the authenticity of representation, particularly in the realms of casting and dialect. Delving into the added characters and plotlines, we critique these deviations, questioning their necessity and the impact on the story's essence. 

Whether you're a bookworm or a series binge-watcher, we invite you to engage with "Black Cake" in all its forms and share with us how these stories resonate with you.
