Awww! I really loved this. (Spoiler review) I loved that they weren’t 16 years old they were older AND their relationship lasted a couple of years AND they started out as friends AND they were totally open about sex and sex before marriage AND their cute moments weee so cute! I loved the characters and the banter and the deal to better their lives AND the spontaneous death of the bitch ass dad!! So good. Such fun
