3.0

It had great themes of family, friendship and self reflection but the pacing was weird. The character development felt choppy. there were a lot of characters to keep up with in such a short story and though there is a sequel that may introduce more of their personalities, right now they all feel 1-dimensional. 

A cute story but i’m not a fan on the insta-crush/love or whatever you call it. I definitely would have wanted more between Ben & Liam before the ending like that.
