- 2013 March 18, The "Girls" Roundtable, “The 'Girls' Season-Finale Gut Check: And Hannah Lived Happily Ever After?”, in The Atlantic:
- Charlie and Marnie fought at brunch and then confessed their undying love for each other; Ray got promoted by his coffee-shop boss and then dumped by his croissant-purse-toting girlfriend; and Hannah, with a deadline looming, her OCD blaring, and all her friends elsewhere, desperately FaceTimed Adam—who took a shirtless, rom-commy gallop across Brooklyn to meet her.
