I had a good time, it’s the ending that through me off. First, I wish that we had more time for the friendship with Ellie and the side characters and that there was more scheming (??? That’s not the right word) with her and Andrew. Like I wish we saw them hang out more and more of their fake relationship, but my biggest problem is the ending. 


1. I don’t understand  why Jack was mad at Ellie and why she had to apologize?? At first Jack was mad Ellie got fake engaged w/ her brother for money and that kinda pissed me off because who is Jack to judge someone for caring about money?? Jack is doing a poverty cosplay but she still has resources to fall back on, Ellie literally has nothing!! 

2. Then she’s mad that Ellie “didn’t believe in her” and idek how she came to that conclusion. 

3. And it’s also somehow Ellie’s fault that she left last Christmas but JACK is the one who lied (by omission) about having a wife!! I wouldn’t stay to listen to anything you had to say cuz if you lied about that how would I believe that you’re telling the truth about you’re “getting a divorce” (literally the oldest trick in the book)

4. Ellie also somehow made Jack sleep with her even tho she thought Ellie was engaged to her brother?? Like how is your lack of self control anyone else’s fault but your own
