Summary
"Fate! There is such a thing as fate, but it only takes you so far. Then it's up to you to make it happen."
Everyone loves that one last house party after high school before everything changes, especially when it has a banger soundtrack, introduces the next generation of Hollywood superstardom, and gives us all a reason to believe in fate. This week, the Wives Colangelo are finally tackling CAN'T HARDLY WAIT, and are joined by the incomparable Niko Stratis to do it! Did you know a Kenny in high school? Can you believe that Carlisle Cullen plays such a jerky jock in this? Are Preson and Amanda actually meant to be? LET'S OPEN UP THIS LIVING ROOM PIT AND FIND OUT!
