Awkward: Season 2 Premiere

I am so excited this show is back! This show is truly a gem and really well written. It is about sophomore Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards) who is a bit of a loser. She falls in love with class hottie Matty McKibben and has sex with him on the last day of summer camp. When she gets home, she gets an anonymous note (carefrontation) saying how she sucks and the reasons why. She is upset, takes Tylenol, but spills the bottle and slips in the tub with the hairdryer. She breaks her arm and everyone thinks she tried to commit suicide. Hilarity ensues. Her mother was a teenage mom and is always trying to make her into something she is not. Matty wants her but wants it a secret. Her best friend Tamara, who is hysterical, is in love with band geek Ricky Schwartz. Her other best friend Asian Ming, is never allowed out of her house. In season one, she goes through changes and checks off things on the list. She battles mean girl Sadie Saxton (You're welcome) and Lissa (god faring cheerleader) and ends up also liking Matty's BFF Jake Rosati. Her guidance counselor Val wants to be her bestie and is dating another teacher. She also writes this anonymous blog throughout the whole thing. What I love about Jenna is she keeps on ticking no matter what hits her. The lines are creative, the lingo is fresh and the characters are relatable and the boys are hotties! Amazing show, just pure enjoyment.

In the last season, we end at the spring formal. Jenna is going with Jake, because Matty was too scared to ask her. Sadie was not allowed in, so asked Lissa to sneak her in, but Lissa betrays her. Tamara and Ricky find each other and Jenna says no to Matty and is with Jake. She gets home and finds the stationary the carefrontation was written on is her mother's. She wrote the note.

Season 2 premiere....

Jenna is dating Jake now and he formally asks her online to be his girlfriend, she contemplates it. It's Christmas Eve and her mother gives her a diamond necklace with a note saying "this is who you are" and her father, true to form, gives her a box of condoms. She goes to blog and finds out that some anonymous left a comment on her blog. She makes it private again.

It's New Year's Eve and she is off with Jake, Tamara and Ming to a party at Matty's house, awkward! When she shows up, they shake, hug, weirdly say hello. Tamara spots Ricky there, when he says he was supposed to be at his grandma's. She slaps him. Ming has to be picked up at midnight. Lissa is trying to repent for her sins and asks Jenna to slap her. Val is outside crying in her car and calls Jenna.

Jenna goes to help Matty with the drinks and he tells her they are not over. He wants another chance. He will tell Jake he had her first and all will be well. Catch? Meet him back there at midnight or meet Jake for the kiss and accept his public request.

She chooses Jake and kisses him. Matty is distraught and drinks himself into oblivion. Sadie comes to speak to him but blows up when he wants advice. She admits she loves him and they make out, weird and gross! He falls asleep in the middle. Tamara is still mad at Ricky, but talks to his grandma and gives him another chance. Sadie is so befuddled she makes out with Ricky in the interim and says her classic tagline "You're welcome".

She goes home and accepts the relationship request. She is Jake's girl now. She goes home and writes a letter on the stationary and gives it to her mother. It says "This is who YOU are" and her mother freaks. BURN. Good job Jenna!

So excited to see more of this show and willing to watch it again and again!!
