Seems that most of the reviews are bashing the character flaws of "Sophia", but nobody seems to be crediting the actress (Britt Robertson) for giving such a great performance that her portrayal of this character is capable of sparking such a reaction of contempt.
I admit, I really enjoyed another of her earlier shows: "Life Unexpected"
In both cases, Britt is fun to watch. As an actress, she finds the sweet spot between being lovable and having an old-school punk rocker attitude.. like some adorable cross between Patti Smith and Joan Jett.
PS: did they ever actually say who the story is (very loosely) based on?
update: apparently, the "inspiration" isn't very inspirational..
