I loved it. I read the book several years ago,which is probably for the best — I don't remember all the missing details, but I can see the general tone of the book has been beautifully recreated.

Yes. I try not to think too much about it and just enjoy the show. It really is a thin premise. Sutton Foster is gorgeous but she does not look 26. She doesn't even look 30. Also, yes, if someone did pull it off in real life, they'd be kind of a sociopath, not a lovely, charming woman like Liza.
