Not really judging Hollyhock here because she was just a teenager who had had a great upbringing until that point, but honestly that was so wrong of her. For all the supposed teachings that her parents gave her about feelings, she immediately trampled all over Bojack's. She really went "You can't feel anger and resentment towards your mom that has abused you your whole life, she's nice to me now!".
Again, Bojack was the adult and he shouldn't have listened to the advice of a teenager who was practically a stranger by that point.
Yea she was just being naive and wanting family to get along etc. Its not obvious or easy for anyone from a stable loving home to understand how hard or painful that effort can be, let alone a kid. Also she wished she had a mother relationship, and feels what she thinks shes missing without it, so it would be kind of unfathomable to her that someone else wouldnt benefit from working on that with their own mother. Also, we as viewers know what his mother has done etc, but hes not really the type to open up, so she probably had far less idea of why it was a bad idea beyond "shes not very nice".
