Izzy Tapping That Border Between Utter Weirdo & Relatable
Izzy’s desperation really can push you to feel like she is doing too much at times, yet when you consider she is a 20 or 30 something who hasn’t had someone truly accept her, nor stick around long enough to help her know how to tone it down, you got to feel for her. So with her acceptance into Jules’ group, it makes you happy this little weirdo has found her people. Even if it seems they are more so amused by her than see her as someone to confide in or rely on.
