Several of the characters from The White Lotus show up at the Hawaiian resort with books in hand, planning to read them by the pool or in their hotel rooms. Shane brings Malcolm Gladwellâs Blink along for the ride. However, episode 5 proves he hasnât made much progress with it. Although the final scene between him and Rachel (Alexandra Daddario) focuses heavily on the latterâs realization that their marriage is a mistake, fans were quick to poke fun at Shane. After all, heâs barely read a quarter of the book since arriving at the resort.
What makes Shaneâs lack of progress even more hilarious is the fact that he attempts to tease Olivia (Sydney Sweeney) and Paula (Brittany OâGrady) about whether or not theyâre actually reading their books by the pool. Pot, meet kettle.
