This was a complex look into young adulthood, choices they make, and the grief that stays with them even as they try to move past it. I found Nadia's and Aubrey's friendship to be so rare and yet so fleeting. It was only a matter of time before secrets came crashing down. 

It did feel a bit peach in relation to

the abortion. I would've preferred a more nuanced take on this issue since it did feel like a PSA for future high schoolers. But it may just me
