And why would it make her BFF upset. Unless the one friend has a crush on the other?? Also, now that I think about it aren’t these girls probably 16? And she’s hooking up with an adult employee. I guess he could be a teen and this is a summer job but he didn’t look like it.
I had also wondered why the family wasn’t in an bigger suite. doesn’t make sense. And if it is just a convenient plot line to cram them all together, that seems like sloppy writing.
I do love this series though!
Because there is a huge class divide between the girls. The friend isn’t as wealthy/privileged. The wealthy teen kind of views her friend as her pet that she brought on vacation. The friend goes along, but there are hints that she resents her. The wealthy teen is controlling. The friend is also hooking up with someone who isn’t at al wealthy (a waiter or something), which probably factors into her fear of being judged. But it’s also an escape for her from the over-the-top tone deafness of the wealthy family.
I grew up blue collar with some friends who were children of white collar. They weren’t over the top wealthy at all, but I was that friend. And I remember how I felt at times, not to mention their complete lack of awareness of how other people lived. But they tend to treat people as pets. That part of the show is brilliant. I actually think the newlywed story line is too blatant. It would be better if it were more subtle.
