UGH so much squandered potential. But unfortunately it's predictable and the big "reveal" is anticlimactic. An incredibly interesting premise but the character was unfortunately the downfall for me. My big negatives were:

• The plot started to feel repetitive in the middle
• There was no real chemistry between the two relationships depicted
• I felt the SA scene was not done thoughtfully, so it came off like an insensitive plot device
