If not for the vibes, this would have gotten a much lower rating. I love the setting but the characters and dialogue were not it. I guessed every twist without even really thinking too deeply into it. I will say they were done in fun ways so I am not as upset but nothing was surprising. The dialogue felt like an adult trying to write teens (despite them being in college) and a lot of it just didn’t land. 

Overall, I had a fun time, the vibes were good, but the plot was predictable and the dialogue was cringe.
