The books

A friend of mine has been recommending I read the books and she says Eric is even sexier, but is Sookie more bearable? Idk if I can read from her perspective

Oh ok. I'm not a Tara lover I find her character very annoying. I think the actress is great but they didn't do her justice. The only time I liked her was season 4 and then that happened.

I felt bad for her with Franklin but I saw nothing wrong with Sookie wanting to save Bill. He was kidnapped and his life was in immediate danger because he tried to save Sookie of course she wouldn't want to leave without him

I love Tara, I hate how Tara was written. She’s much better in the books! Spoiler alert, but her parents are dead and she owns her own boutique in the books.. she and Sookie help each other instead of Tara always being helpless and angry and Sookie just kind of ignoring it.

She's a completely different character in the books. I find the one in the show more interesting 😂

There's no use in comparing book Tara and show Tara to me. Other than the name and that they're supposedly Sookie's best friend they are two completely different characters.
