claire was the WORST friend ever, who agrees to be DD and gets "buzzed" please she's so possessive for no reason?? she sounded like a child at the end when macon broke his promise.

macon is so toxic to sam and to lennon. macon and lennon both did sam and eric wrong. len keeps saying she and eric are just friends but it's so obvious that eric has feelings for her, she's leading her on. the way eric still was civil at the prom even though he got beat up. eric deserves sm better!!

lennon keeps correcting <b>brother</b> to <b>stepbrother</b> as if it makes any difference. and what's with macon peeing in front of her was so unnecessary why was that even put in 😭😭

macon did have some redeemable parts ngl like the flowers, the mug, and the art center
