She gets the relationship with your effortlessly gorgeous friend PERFECTLY
I relate so hard to Hannah on her friendship with Jessa. I think we all had that one friend who was just 10x hotter than all our other friends, and we knew that all men in the room would just gravitate to her effortlessly. We worried about when and how to introduce a new guy to her, and watched him closely for his reaction (no fault of hers, of course). And her life was always full of interesting stories and upheaval because she had endless options, lots of guys after her, and always seemed to land on her feet no matter what.
At the end of season 5, when Jessa and Adam were fighting, Adam told Jessa that Hannah hated her, and Jessa asked him "Haven't you ever had a friend!?" She had also said that she was an easy person to hate earlier in the episode as well. We all felt a lot of love and a lot of hate for our gorgeous friends. We secretly logged their shortcomings, and wondered if they realized how they took the air out of every room, and how we felt next to them as 8 guys tried to talk to them while we sat there. We also helped pick her up off the floor when things came crashing down.
I've had that friend. I think a lot of have, and I think she captured it so perfectly.
