Oooh you hit the nail and n the head with that last bit. We couldn’t see the read flags before but now as adults ourselves, it’s (at least for me) painful and very uncomfortable to watch! At least I didn’t flounce back home 😅

You know what hits hard? That if we grew up watching GG, we are (probably) older than Lorelai at the beginning of the show.

Sorry. As soon as I realised it, I made it my mission to ruin as many lives as possible.

Haha, I loved this, Anna! But for what it's worth, from what I can tell from reading your book, I def don't think you are anything like Rory. Like you outlined, the thing that is so grating about her is her distinct lack of self-awareness. Anyway - thank you for normalising the 'Am I Rory?' moment/('rite of passage'?) which at least one of my friends and I have both experienced too.
