User blog comment:Epic~00/In Defense of Mike and Zoey + A Balanced Perspective on Their Characters/@comment-1756703-20130923002441

I kind of relate to Zoey. Like her, I'm an only child who felt somewhat socially insecure when I was entering high school. Still, I'll admit that she could use a bit more character development, since much of her personality revolves solely around Mike. At least she's not so much of a "damsel in distress" anymore in TDAS.

And personally, I like both Mike and Zoey, and I like their relationship. But I can understand why others don't.
