this was so cute; i loved the baking scenes & hector's character to pieces... ari not so much. however, like many people, ari is a character who can be considered selfish, but at the end of the day is just very sensitive and doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life, which is quite relatable. the way he acted with his parents & hector (and his friends) at certain parts bothered me, though. the ending also felt very abrupt? i felt like i was missing quite a bit of context for it and was confused/thought i'd skipped over a part of the story. loved the art style of this and enjoyed it overall!
