I was really quite enjoying this for most of it, relishing in Sam figuring herself out and standing up for herself, building real friendships and exploring art and mental illness. The story takes a turn about 3/4 through that I wasn't really on board for. I didn't find it necessary and I'm not sure what it was supposed to do for the story. Otherwise, it was a really sweet coming of age story.
