Sarah Hunter Simanson is a Memphis-based freelance writer who received her MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and is working on her first novel. Her writing has appeared in The LA Times, HuffPost, Salon, Travel + Leisure, The Daily Memphian and elsewhere.
Greer Garrison Winbury gets some supposedly sage but implicitly questionable marital advice from her mother on the morning of her wedding in Elin Hilderbrand’s 2018 novel, “ The Perfect Couple .”In a marriage, there’s a tension that exists between the outward facing facade the rest of the world sees and a relationship’s internal and war-like workings. This is the force that drives both Hilderbrand’s novel and theTV series adaptation of the same name.
“You are invited to Benji & Amelia’s Rehearsal Dinner,” the text reads before zooming into a white party tent on the beachfront estate of Greer and Tag Winbury .Within the first few lines of dialogue between Greer and her three sons — Thomas , Benji and Will — it’s apparent that nothing is what it seems.
“I love this woman to death,” middle-son Benji says as he twirls Amelia in a sweet moment. It becomes foreboding when the beachfront party of well-dressed people eating oysters and drinking champagne fades into the image of a moon hanging over dark, inky water, and the music is replaced with Amelia’s screams.
Donna Lynne Champlin as Nikki Henry and Michael Beach as Dan Carter in the final episode of Netflix's"The Perfect Couple."I won’t spoil the show by giving anything away because each episode is too much fun. And it should be.
The stakes are high this year, and our 2024 coverage could use continued support. We hope you'll consider contributing to HuffPost once more.This escapist quality is obviously intentional in Hilderbrand’s book, which is the first of her 27 beach reads to be adapted for the screen, and it holdshow desperately people who are sick want to go somewhere else in their minds.
