2.0

So much high school drama. And so much of Eleanor being stuck in her own head. And blind as a bat.

So I understand Eleanor being in love. Being love sick. And doing stupid things because of it. But I cannot condone her not communicating, then having grandiose ideas, and being upset when other people were not on the same page. Like, you have to communicate and set boundaries in relationships. Which she could not do.

Also. I did go into this expecting actual magic.

And I’m kind of sad we didn’t see Harrison get his comeuppance.
