One of the best things about skip beat is how Kyoko is just pretty much unwilling to have female characters just be her enemies. The author set up her entire backstory to make it so that if she hated women, the readers could technically just accept it.
She was raised to be a perfect house wife, every girl in school hated her because of Sho, and her own mother didn't even care enough to raise her. She could've resented feminine things, hated women as a whole.
But she doesn't. She loves spending time with girls, she longs for girly and cute things in life because she could never afford them. She wants to be a princess and be cute. Her first instinct when meeting girls and women is never to hate them, but to befriend them and spend time with them doing activities that have always been shown to be friend activities.
All of Kyoko's friends were at some point a rival in some way, but Kyoko was either so devoted to befriending them or lacked the vitriol they had towards her so the rivalries never really last. Kyoko is so in love with fairytales, fantasy, companionship, and happy endings that it makes reading the story worth it.

Friendship breakups bring the nastiest kind of heartbreak and despite that there's no way to evade them. I wish we wouldn't have to go through this much pain and anguish in the process of letting go :(

Finished reading The Metamorphosis a couple days ago and all I can say is that nobody could describe the fear and pain of alienation and isolation better than Kafka. He surely knows how to drill a gaping hole in the hearts of readers.
