absolutely!! Not to be a “well in the books” snob, but in the BOOK, one of the things they bond over is writing, which feels like such an obvious way to A. Bring them closer together (secretly whistledown duhh) and b. Make the fallout even more devastating when Colin finds out her identity! And stick a fork in me, if we got a secret penpal situation (non-derogatory!)
I haven't read the books but that would have made so much more sense!!! "You've Got Mail" works for a reason! They could have so cleanly shown history that way too.
I was (also!) having quite a spirited conversation with one of my friends about this season’s part and the complete lack of leg work for building their friendship. Which feels egregious considering that is one half of the trope! Like I saw all the hints of the friends to lovers happening, but with almost little to no follow through on actually executing it.
Egregious! I feel like there was so much potential too. Like let them team up and do some scheming! Stick 'em together in that balloon! Force them to engage in mundane tasks that surely come with being that rich and free from responsibilities! Even a longstanding across-the-street penpal situation would have worked for me!
