My relationship goals, on the other hand, are impossible seeing how my childhood crush is also my little sister’s best friend. Yeah, their chemistry was cute and fun, no idea how they resisted so long, she tries to keep resisting, but that last about, maybe a week. The witty banter between these two but also the way Josh is definitely in love with Gwen just makes this a great story.
