It was fast-paced, very character-driven with minimal plot, and heavily centered on mental health. I grew up watching shows and documentaries, and I’ve had people around me struggle with mental health, but due to the fast pace and the characters’ muddled, all-over-the-place thoughts and emotions, I struggled to connect. I feel like this is partly due to my own lack of understanding and knowledge.
That said, I did feel the emotional rollercoaster—it just wasn’t strong enough to make the story memorable for me.
I also wish we had gotten more background on Wynn and Lanston; I don’t think there was enough development there. With Liam, though, we got a lot more depth. Also, what heart condition does Wynn have? Either I missed it, or it wasn’t actually mentioned—aside from “I have a bad heart” and that she takes medication.
Lastly, the narration was okay but didn’t quite work for me—especially when voicing the character behind what had been going on. It came off as quite cringe, if I’m honest.
I went into this with high hopes, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me.
