Before I write my actual review, I have to say one thing. Ginny's heart beats more for Marcus than for Maxine because Marcus is and always has been her best friend and closest confidant. The rift between Maxine and Ginny began the moment she decided to have that secret thing with Marcus, and then at the beginning of the second season, when she learned everything about her mother and was isolated by Maxine and literally pushed into Marcus and Abby's arms because Max treated them like garbage too. That's when it was sealed that Marcus was and always will be her best friend. This caused a chain reaction in which Ginny, who initially only had MANG, formed her own safe space with Marcus, Abby, and Bracia. Maxine and Ginny never rekindled their bond because it was already weak and ultimately broke the moment Ginny was pushed away. So, it doesn't surprise me, and I don't blame Ginny, that she seeks comfort from everyone except Maxine. BUT, I'm still very much on Maxine's side when we talk about actions and wordings. Because her POV made me realize her pain and how hurtful the girls behaved, which at first didn't seem so bad because most of the excluding happened naturally at first from the outside. But when they started to do it on purpose ... The girls were horrible to her, and I think the writers went a bit too far. I get that Ginny and Abby don't see Max as their 'person' as explained in the beginning but dang they shouldn't have been so nonchalant and unempathetic about it. Abby did not surprise me (love her though) but Ginny really shocked and scared me. Like girl that was not nice! In the end the whole plot is not black and white to me and I appreciate how I can feel both sides. But we still could've said and done things differently. No words for Norah she's just a bird.
