Wasn't really what I was looking for, but I stuck with it. For the age of the characters I dislike how many times urine got brought up. It felt like the emotional maturity of the characters flip flopped a lot, and that in an attempted to diversify the characters, many of them were reduced to their gender and/or sexualities. Like we didn't get much out of the LGBTQ+ group at the school other than an explanation of non binary from a member, and a list of their genders/pronouns.

I wished there was more of a focus on the relationships between the characters, and for the ending to be more fleshed out. A lot of build up for a couple of lines of a climax
