you're very welcome. i think so, though i'm not sure that was the intention. i feel like it's the same thing as in that freddie prinze jr. movie where the girl wears glasses and is considered a nerd, but the second she takes them off, she's suddenly the girl next door. same with belly, right? that's what i was thinking and it doesn't help that it's this constant back and forth situation. woman, please, pick one and stick with him.
The She’s All That! reference is on point there friend. And honestly, you are so right about Belly. How did I not exactly see it but did know a little it was there. It’s the ultimate glasses off transformation trope, except instead of glasses, it’s just her turning 16 and suddenly the entire summer house loses its mind. And don't even get me started on the back-and-forth! I swear, every time you think she’s finally made a choice, the plot twists right back around. At this point, everybody watching is screaming at their screen: "Woman, please! Just make up your mind and stick with one!"
