Told from revolving perspectives, each propelling the story forward from a different lens. Each character is rich and beautiful, flawed but in such human and relatable ways. 

The ending is well done and although it felt fleeting and a real ‘it was about the journey not the destination’ vibe, I can’t imagine it working any way. Leaving me sad but also like, ofc what did I think was going to happen. This is real life!
