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

The characters could have saved time by talking aboutwhat happened, the past, and clarifying the relationships. Small towns gossip and a tight knit church made it so much worse for them. The gossping church mothers were a good way to break up the story.
