This wasn't bad per se. More like very average. The writing was OK, not cringey but also not particularly engaging.
The teenaged characters were the most interesting and relatable. The grown-ups were either very dumb and annoying, or simply oblivious.
The plot was very predictable, and I didn't like that most of the "twist" relyed on pure chance.
Also I didn't really appreciate how the themes of mental health, neurodivergence and domestic abuse/violence were handled.
