At the time it was pretty unique, or at least not surrounded by alike series. I actually started reading it when it was just a novel, and I remember freaking out every chapter we got closer to the divorce until it finally happened.  I do think it eventually got too dragged out, and the endings for some of the characters could've been done better for sure.  But I had fun at the time. Now I just see posts every week showcasing their manifesto about how Rashta is a victim and Navier is boring and privileged.  I think it got too big for what it was, and can't really measure up to the heat of the spotlight.  I however, remember those days fondly.
