Marissa and Ryan’s dramatic love story was the glue that kept this teen show together. But Marissa was such a hot mess, we’re not sure why we even liked her. Yes, she had a terrible mother. But she also made everything so much worse by handling every challenge in her life in the worst way possible.
She went from a sulky, rebellious teen to completely self-destructive just in the first season. And her tendency to naively trust bad people, while doubting her real friends, got increasingly frustrating.
