As a 20 year old, watching this for the first time, my heart aches towards Katie and Jessie. They're the perfect example of queer adolescent love that is nurtured through friendship and innocence- quick kisses behind families backs, longing and loving stares across the room before someone comes in.
It's such a beautiful example of understanding of emotion at such a young age and an incredible, well put together series that is not queer-baiting, it is not misleading; it is literally what it is.
It is a young girl who was not exposed to such experiences as a child, who found comfort in her best friend, and who grew to understand that she her feelings were valid because of it, no one judged them, no one berated them, it was easy going and natural.
I wish there was more because my heart aches for such kind of representation in teens and adults. It's so beyond it's time and I crave something similar and extended.
