A dynamic group of artistic, queer teens struggling with deep self-loathing find deep friendship and inspiration in one another. I loved the journey this took us on through each character’s struggles, as well as the process of identifying and talking about eating disorders. There is no solid conclusion, but it feels natural since their story isn’t over, just this part of it.
