Eastbrooke is so easy to get obsessed with! 

We pick up right when Arrington and company get back from the yacht party. And SO MUCH HAPPENS. All the sports games, a music video filming, Boston, New York, an injury, heart to hearts, confrontations, and a huge bomb being dropped! So much angst. 

I feel like Arrington is growing so much and really coming into her own. I love how strong she is and how she tells it like it is. There’s some great times with her giving other characters advice and I love it. Arrington and Augie are still going strong but I am obsessed with her chemistry with Beckham. I honestly can’t wait to see where that goes. I also feel like her and Branson are having some moments that I’m curious to find out more about. There is honestly so much going on and I just love it. And Johnny? Johnny is actually amazing and one of my favorite characters. 

I really love a series like this so much. There are so many characters so you can see yourself in them. I find myself relating to both Arrington and Waverly and it’s so much fun to see if they handle situations the same way I would.
