If itll have me, that is.
Theres just so much to love about Mary Anne and the Great Romance.
From seeing an iconic literary couple go on their first date to Malia Bakers great performance (The comedy!
My Valentine is the best, folks.
Lets go through it.
Did book readers cheer?
It felt very momentous.
But things start changing immediately.
The other couples in this lounge are very intense.
Theyre speaking in unison and celebrating anniversaries every week.
Come on, Logan.
Even Kristy knows Salvatores is the restaurant where people get engaged.
It is way too much for eighth-graders on their first date.
Lunch isnt the only thing that changes for Mary Anne.
She is very, very wrong.
And the awkwardness of this date starts even before they run into Richard and Sharon at Salvatores.
Thats how bad it is!
At home, Richard wants to double-check Mary Anne is okay, but she is in tears.
Arent you so proud of them?
Richards therapist should really be charging more.
Instead, he sits down next to her and tells her what she needs to hear.
Or they can be friends who like each other.
Its okay to do that.
Were just us, he says.
And hes so confident in it because he and Sharon have talked about how theyre feeling.
It is a very smooth especially for Richard way to impart some fatherly advice without feeling too advice-y.
Ugh, arent you just so proud of the Spiers?
Mary Annes talk with Logan goes better than she couldve imagined.
Were just us, they say in unison (the couples lounge would be so proud).
Dreams do come true, I guess?
Shes hopped up on hormones, and it doesnt seem to be working.
Shes been pretending everything is okay, even with Watson, and thats not right for anyone.
Liz and Kristy Thomas forever!
Can we talk about how much Sharon loves Richard?
I think I got this.
Sharon asks Logan what his love language is, and his response is I guess mines English.
Dawn loves that Mary Anne is embracing the no-label pop in of life.
She tells her that she believes whoever she ends up with could be anywhere on the gender spectrum.
Her only dating requisites are being environmentally conscious and having good oral hygiene.
Andrew is watchingWALL-Efor the 900th time.
He says he enjoys the silence of it.
The Brewer kids are so strange, and we should cherish them.
