Awwww. I loved that the characters felt like remarkably believable teens in 2024, especially the way they stepped up for each other and clearly had access to a lot of Tumblr therapy lingo (in an endearing way). So much teen media feels like a throwback to mean 80s movies, and it drives me bonkers because I see that so rarely in real life.
Loved the friendships, loved the passion for the newspaper, and v v v much loved the adults. A charmer.
