This was so cute! It had some darker storylines than I expected, but the overall story was really sweet and inspiring.
I wish Amber had had to confront her shitty behavior a bit more throughout. Though I completely understand her reservations about coming out, she was not a very good friend to Miguel or Jack at times and acted pretty selfishly. However, the small-town high school romance vibes were on point and the conflict did make sense to the story.
