Yeah that's right I brought it up!
Anyway this is less about the musical and movie and more about the book.
So I was told to read it by a friend, which I'm not reading I'm audio booking it, deal with it.
Anyway so within the first 1-2 chapters they talk about adultery, some dude has been banging a mother and daughter!
Then the very next chapter talk about killing a baby, multiple times.
I was told it's quite dark in comparison to the musical/movie but I was expecting just a little bit of violence. |

"I read this book when it first came out, I can't remember any of this, need to read it again.
As soon as K mentions the dirty bits, you’re interested. 🤣"
I know, I can't remember any of it, but tbh, I don't really remember much about it at all, so maybe I didn't like it? I can't remember 🤷♀️ but yes, the naughty bits have made me want to read it again!  |

I just looked up some of the "trigger warnings"...  I think the sexy parts are the very least of my worries when it comes to dark themes of this book. |

The only thing I remember about it was thinking it was a bit dark, I'm sure I liked it at the time, don't think I'll bother with the film tho. |

Let's put it this way.
I used to use the comparison scale between wizard of Oz and Return to Oz when it came to describing how dark something is in its themes. Wicked (book) certainly goes beyond Return to Oz |
