fantastic, highly recommend. alex needed to get off his high fucking horse & emily is iconic. nigel book vs. movie is *wild*
i seem to be one of maybe 3 people who enjoyed this, but most complaints seem to be that andrea sucked... which is fair. she was a bitch, but i think she's mostly justified, & she does genuinely seem to want to get to know the people around her, not just considering them stupid. she's a little unnerved by their obsession with being under 110 lbs but it's just a radical change from her usual environment. i frankly don't thing it was this end all be all moment that she couldn't fly back when lily was in a coma, like girl was fully an alcholic and needed help but andy wasn't her entire support network. and those 2 days could make or break her career, it's not like andy being there would be life or death for lily.
also the whole christian storyline was so random & her "getting revenge" on miranda & elias-clark by buying starbucks for homeless people is iconic, sorry.
