Nobody Wants This is one of the only shows I’ve seen with single characters in their 30s (40s?) where there aren’t lengthy rants about how delayed they are, “clock is ticking!”, “something must be wrong with me,” etc., and also showing them having strong friendships with peers who are married and the kids in their lives. Very refreshing and accurate for my group of Millennial friends living in a city.

Even Rebecca -- her monologue in the end. It wasn't about her timeline, it was about what she wanted in life.

Yes!! Also no one said to Morgan, “But you’re so gorgeous, how are you single?!” And she wasn’t shown even trying to date, they just portrayed her having a very full life generally. I identified so much with these characters!

This is probably a really stupid question, but Substack won’t let me buy an annual subscription since I was signed up monthly? Any ideas on how to fix that?

I'm not sure -- I think the promotion is new customers only so you may not be able to. I would recommend reaching out to Substack Support, that is part of why they take their cut, I just write and they do the customer service element!

no real reason, I think when everyone gushes about something I get skeptical. But I absolutely loved it!

I'm trying to upgrade to a paid subscription, but it isn't showing the discount. Is there a code I need?

I have no idea, I'm sorry. No code. It should have discounted from $60 to $42 but the sale is over now!

Hi! I love the Lelet hair accessory you linked. Do you think it would work for fine hair? I’m kinda afraid it would look “empty” on me if that makes sense

for finer hair I think you'd be better off with the barrette!

I loved the movie “Nobody Wants this” too. Being from a mixed Jewish background but never raised religious at all, the mother is hysterical and very old School family. He is my new Crush. Loved the movie so much. So funny and romantic. I was texted late (10) at night that my girl Jacki was half way through it. That made my night very late !!! So good!

It’s in Vogue. A true story of two sisters . One married and she converted. It’s on Netflix . I thought you saw it . It’s really not about Religion. It’s about true understanding of another persons life and their world but it’s funny, real and just great!!! Kristin Bell is Hilarious and yes the Rabbi is HOT
