Each chapter is one of the serialized installments. The books are easy reads – light, frothy, satisfying. A serious reader can plow through all 6 in no time at all.

Linney was in all 3. The characters who were each played by 2 different actors were Michael, Brian, Mona, D'orthea, Frannie Halcyon, & Emma (Frannie’s Maid). Mary Ann, Anna Madrigal, Dee Dee, Beauchamp, Jon, Prue, & Connie Bradshaw were played by the same people throughout.
