More adolescent than I was expecting, and I wasn't really in the mood for high school vibes. Also felt a bit like a trauma deluge of just every horrible possible thing happening. I realize that can be realistic, but I don't feel like there was a great throughline or commentary on it.
I appreciate that they found a tempered way to reach a happy ending...'happy ending, where it was sort of sucky but ultimately turned out okay', but it added to the ultimately adolescent vibe for me.
