"not my job to deal with real. besides, can't always trust reality to act the part"
* I like the mystery aspect, and it progressed quite nicely, but it did feel a bit incomplete. I get that they want to focus on character development or whatever, but that doesn't necessarily make it exclusive to the plot, nor does it strengthen the message of the importance of friendship.
* Really liked the map, especially since they were going all over the island. It was a little confusing, but the funnest maps are.
* Appreciated the inclusion of a deaf character without making it some sort of big deal - it felt very natural to everyday life. Martha's Vineyard has a history of congregation of deaf people on the island, and excluding them would've felt wrong.

Like why didn't they go back to the cemetery to see if they could finish digging up the headstone? And I'm not entirely sure why they were so against "bringing Atwood back", whatever that means - I guess they were scared of his ghost? What was up with that anyways? Also, they totally left it hanging with their film mentor, Charlie, which was really very sucky of them."* Really liked the map, especially since they were going all over the island.
