At first I didn’t want to hear Darcy’s pov but then I started to find it quite funny. 

It was very satisfying to see her hit her low point, but then I was really rooting for her to change and was eager to see her turn things around for herself, although as it went on it became a bit predictable. 

Also the whole getting pregnant situation was so random, even though Darcy was kind of off the rails, kind of actively choosing to get pregnant went against everything she traditionally seemed like she still kind of wanted. I also felt like pushing marriage on Marcus was really unfair but I guess it was to emphasise just how desperate and manipulative she really was.

Also I was kind of sad she ended up with Ethan even despite her personal growth, I was hoping she would stay with the doctor. Since Ethan was supposed to be closer to Rachel, I feel like it further insinuated that they both chose boys over their friendship (each other’s boy to be exact).
