If this was longer, it certainly would have worked better. There is a lot of talk about how much Koda Rose has changed since moving to NYC, but since we met her after she moved, it's hard to see. I also didn't believe she pulled away from her best friend and I certainly never believed they had been best friends. Koda Rose also just felt hollow and very flat.
She doesn't also meet up with Sadie because of her harboring a crush on her friend. They met up for completely different reasons.

Graphic: Addiction and Drug abuse
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship, Cursing, and Death of parent
Unsure if the "adult/minor relationship" is minor or moderate. It isn't explored, but it's certainly implied and there is a brief, unintentional kiss that no one shies away from.
