I did not like Regina. I didn't find a single trait of hers redeemable. Spoiler-ish :
Spoiler
She pre-planned Chloe's life, uses Belle's crush against her just to get free tutoring and attention, and is overall just sort of obnoxious.I initially didn't like Chloe either because of her treatment towards Belle, but honestly.. if someone had been hitting on my boyfriend, I wouldn't be super kind to them either. Nor did I understand why she was dismissive towards Regina until the middle.
Spoiler
It becomes very apparent that Chloe doesn't respect their relationship because Regina doesn't respect it either. Their relationship is honestly just a placeholder for Gina's 10 year plan.Wasn't a fan of the cheating. I don't understand why Chloe didn't just break up with Gina, especially when
Spoiler
she doesn't care at all when Gina breaks up with her, over text of all things! She even seems a little happy and relieved by it since she can be with Belle nowAll in all, it was good, but I wasn't a fan of certain aspects
or if you want the funny tldr : this is the average sapphic experience.
