Summary
From one birthday celebration (Gilmore girls) to the next, Happy Birthday Rory Gilmore! The past few couple years, we’ve spent Rory’s birthday low-key roasting her. So, this year, we want to celebrate her by getting back to the moments that endear us as an audience and the town of Stars Hollow to Rory; specifically through her relationship with Luke. From Rory’s 16th birthday to her 21st, we see Rory and Luke bring out some of the softest moments in each other. As two characters who famously within the narrative don’t always share their feelings, we’re really excited to dissect and celebrate their relationship arc. Grab a cup of coffee and get comfortable because Tara and Haley have more to say!
