Melanie said: “I had not read the book. I remember telling a friend, you know, I got asked to do this thing. And she said, Have you not read that book? And I was like, No, I haven’t. She was like, Oh, I thought everyone had read it. And so I read the book after I had read the screenplays, but that was the screenplay.
