Younger has one of the greatest casts we've seen in a long time — from Liza (Sutton Foster) posing as a twenty-something in her forties, to the oddly wholesome Josh (Nico Tortorella) who has us rooting for him throughout their rollercoaster relationship, the show's varying personalities have us hooked in the best possible way.
Of course there's also true gold found within the characters of Maggie, Charles, Lauren, Diana and more, but today we're here to talk about the role that is Kelsey Peters. Played by Hilary Duff (AKA the woman behind our fave movies growing up) girl's got some extremely relatable qualities, and, well, faults — depending on how you look at it.
Sure, her character can be a little intense at times, but all of television's greats are, right? Remember Marissa Cooper? No saint — that's for sure — but she's forever going to be a television icon.
Below, we remember at all the times we looked at Kelsey and thought, girl same.
Kelsey's the first person to call someone out for mistreating a friend, and the last one to go home when they need to debrief from a bad day at work. That's loyalty we can both relate and aspire to.

Kelsey mightn't be perfect (who is?) but if there's one thing we love about her, it's that she doesn't take people's crap. Whether it's calling Liza out on a wrongdoing or evening out the playing field with her male competitors, Kelsey's character is easily one of the strongest in this Darren Star series.

It's hard to feel like you truly belong in this life in general, and the same thing goes for the office you work in. Thankfully, as Kelsey demonstrates, this is a feeling we can push through. Say it with us: you're good enough.

I don't think we need to go into detail here - let's just say we've all experienced a Thad-type at least once in our lives.

No Filter

Kelsey's about as upfront as it gets in relationships and you know what? Full respect for that. Ain't nobody got time for anything else. There is such thing as cruel to be kind.
