Waldo is out here like, “I’m going to seduce this man by microdosing my trauma dumps through multiple assignments.”
In all seriousness I do like that McCurdy juxtaposes Waldo’s obsession with explanations for why she’s feeling so intensely for her teacher. She’s never had a reliable father figure; raised by a mother who centers men & appearance; lonely & longing for connection. She wants to feel seen.

Opening with a cringey, awkward & painfully accurate depiction of many girls’/women’s sexual experiences is definitely attention grabbing.
My younger self feels so seen by this MC’s inner monologues. Trying to conform to be deemed lovable; to not ask for too much; to water down your personality to flatter & bolster someone else who would never do the same for you. It’s something I struggled with then & now.
