I feel like in media it’s very typical to see characters in a high school setting and then their life magically works out and they go to their dream school or there’s a time jump and we see them fresh out of college. And those stories are important because of course it’s normal to struggle in high school (and hey that’s the target audience). But what I love about Nancy Drew, is we get to see what happens after high school and from the perspective of someone who doesn’t have things “magically workout”. We get to see a “high school burnout”; someone who had all of these hopes and dreams and plans, only for life to not turn out the way they expected. We see her struggle with grief and mental health. We see her figuring out who this person is that she has become and accepting that her identity and her worth aren’t tied to those plans she had for herself. And it’s SO refreshing to see because it’s such a real experience and struggle that people face (myself included).
Furthermore, the same can be said for the other members of the Drew Crew as well. We see characters who all are dealing with their own hardships and trauma all of which have some part that is deeply relatable. We see experiences like not living up to parents’ expectations, relationship trauma, having to take on too much responsibility from a young age, a desire to have a family, learning self-forgiveness, and figuring out what one’s purpose is (and so much more). The show starts with a group of people who started out not where they thought they would be in life and we get to see them grow and develop through their experiences with one another and figure out this crazy thing called life.

Love is a choice. And action. We choose people over and over again.
And this show has always been about love. Choosing the right thing. Choosing your friends. Choosing your family. Choosing your soulmates. (If you’re lucky, you get four)
Choosing who you love.

My Secret Sleuth gift (@secretsleuthexchange) for @perfectpurls! This was inspired by a chapter from her fic Bring On The Light, a very sweet series I definitely recommend about Ace and Nancy celebrating Channukah together in different ways. In this one, they teach the rest of the crew to play dreidel!
I very much enjoyed reading through your fics for this, and hope you had a great Channukah! ♥
