I just couldn’t get over the objectification of the girls. They were treated more like dolls than people. I suppose that’s the point, but it infuriated me that those boys were the ones to tell their story and not the girls themselves, which just made the entire story unreliable. 
The sexualisation was so over done that it just felt creepy at times.
