As someone who was a Jaqueline STAN in her younger years, I wanted to like this SO badly. But unfortunately Ellie is still the absolutely insufferable character she was when she was a teenager, and doesn’t seem to have grown up literally at all considering she has a grown child. Her narrative was just juvenile and the plot was so predictable. Wish we’d got some chapters from Nadine and magda’s perspective because they just seemed to be there for nostalgias sake and they haven’t actually developed as characters. Sorry Jackie :(
