It made me angry. It made me laugh. It made me cry. One of my favorite characters was was the poor girl from the country who married the rich man who just loved her and everyone else hated her...except for the maid that she hired who had been black balled. That was my favorite story line in the book. Read it. I'm sure you'll find something in it that you'll like about it.
I have not seen the movie yet, but I want to. I love Emma Stone!
