My expectations going into this one were low, and I came out pleasantly surprised. What was pitched as a classic love triangle--although I did believe in this one, and both options were good ones--became an discussion on internalized biphobia, self-realization, confidence, relationship styles, friendship, sistership, divorce, and so many other things. The romance was cute and not forced, the drama felt a bit contrived but not annoyingly so, and the characters relatable. I definitely recommend this one as an adorable romance with an extra kick of introspection to it.
Graphic: Biphobia
Minor: Body shaming
