Mostly a story of an unpopular teenager acting out because she so desperately wants to fit in with a group. It’s very difficult to stick it out through the graphic sex depictions about a 14 year old. I liked the commentary on how easily people can get sucked into the cult environment when it is mostly made up of mundanity, but not much else.
