I am constantly reminding myself that Mia is 16. A lot of her thought processes feel utterly foreign, even thinking back to my own high school days. She is so self absorbed and transparent and the I'm the ugly duckling routine gets old by entry 2.

I do appreciate the differences from the movie though. Such as one of her neighbors being trans. That never should have gotten eliminated. And apparently fat Louis is a tabby?! Blow my mind, why don't you.
