It‘s generally cute, but the teenage drama was too much for me.

I had to remind myself quite a few times that they were teenagers, and even then I found them frustrating.

I understand that there’re many people like Sophia and Emma, but for both of them to take their views on love to such extremes… breaking their friend group over it was extremely childish.

Their relationship seemed rushed. One moment they hate each other and then, just because they think the other is in love, they act all lovey-dovey around each other. Don’t get me wrong, I liked them together but I would have enjoyed it much better if the transition happened more gradually and naturally.

And lastly, for a friend group that’s supposed to have been friends for a long time they act very selfishly with each other.

If Tom was hurt because Sophie was acting different he should have talked to her, and Matt should have cared about them enough to respect Emma’s rejection and be happy for Tom and Kate. And Tom should have tried listening to Kate before humiliating her at her workplace.
