- its so sad T___T
- touches tons of issues: sexism, racism, sibling jealousy, parents expectations and more...
- felt that there were a lot of characters and some were overshadowed mainly hannah, nath, and jack...i wish they had more time especially hannah but i understand why they focused so much on the parents
- why did marilyn and james stay with each other like...their relationship was so toxic 
- communication...bro these characters do not communicate i mean thats the point but like it hurts how much sadness couldve been avoided if everyone just communicated
- relatable...the family pressure hits different
- i wanna give hannah a hug my girlie :( she deserved better and i wouldve loved more time with her
- lowkey kind of wish nath and jack talked to each other or smth like poor jack >:[  i think nath learning the truth wouldve been good for him instead of him being angry all the time also why did they hate each other anyway but also they had -1000 booktime so like i feel like their dynamic couldve been more developed too
