The characters are so real, so human. A young teenage girl acts like a young teenage girl and it is heartbreaking and beautiful.
I liked it. It's not a story on morality, or how to act properly, it's a story of three interesting people tied into a dysfunctional family. They're all liars and hurting and imperfect and don't often say the right thing and it's honest
