Unsatisfactory ending
Was this cute? Absolutely. And I was enjoying it all through the first half. But I hate the ending. To me, having Mel apologize to the whole cast and crew constantly for things that weren't her fault was ridiculous. Yes, she made some mistakes, and obviously lying isn't cool, but the crew and cast put a huge amount of blame on someone who gave 200% to the show. Nobody else took any responsibility for their parts in this. It switched to a moral of "things don't have to be perfect" at the end and nothing flowed properly.
And choosing a superstition that Mel can't be in love? What? 1) nobody chooses to fall in love, 2) there was absolutely no proof that her being in a relationship caused any problems, 3) it was absolutely NONE of the crews' business. I was mad the entire ending.
Bonus: she was slut shamed so many times in the book and her "friends" rarely came to her defense. Another thing they never apologized for.
