Phoebe is such an interesting character, clearly inspired by the women of 19th century novels who rarely took decisions and took terrible ones if they ever did, yet she and her problems are decidedly modern. I love seeing someone step out of themselves and actually have the courage to examine their own reality. This was astute and insightful but also so silly and fun!!
