I enjoyed this, and it was definitely a cute story of discovering your sexuality, first love, and a coming of age story. Honestly though, it would've had a higher rating if it weren't for the dad. I understand the dad was struggling, but he was so frustrating! He barely cared about his kid, made everything about himself, and was a big man-child, and he was so inappropriate to his child and rude to everyone else. The end he "apologized" but it was one of the worst apologies I've ever seen, making an excuse for his abusive behavior.
