Wow. A Lifetime movie about a rape. Surprising.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised.
ReplyDeleteActually, I kind of was, too. But I probably shouldn't have been; in retrospect, it seems kind of obvious.
ReplyDeleteIt's not one of my favorite King stories, so I can't honestly say I'm too excited about this one.
Looking forward to this
