What can I say I love a retelling/reboot/requel/re-anything?
Marnie Barnes is middle child representation I deserve! Feeling like a stranger in your own home, being hyper-independent and so many other things that just come naturally to a middle child.
I loved Whit. He was so sweet and understanding and everything a Mary Bennet would need. I, at times, hated the Barnes family for the way they treated Marnie, but of course everything gets semi-resolved by the end. I also just really love a Bay Area setting.
And my shining star, Adhira!!
Crying Score: Yes.
