Love triangles (or squares) that aren't annoying but very funny and entertaining? Teenage behavior that doesn't make me feel like throwing something at my screen? I didn't have a lot of expectations for this as the only Jenny Han media I've consumed before is The Summer I Turned Pretty and we all know how I… Continue reading XO, Kitty: I actually liked this show a lot??

Time isn't real because how is it May already? April is supposed to be the month of lightning strikes and thunderstorms. Half of the month was unbearably humid, sweltering heat and the rains only began as the month was ending.
