I loved that the story included sexual orientations and choices. I loved that it showed mental health issues. I loved how flawed the characters were. I loved that the boys stayed true to their music. The only thing I didn't like about this was the unfortunate meetings (like how Angel and Jimmy met or how badly Rowan treated Angel). Also, Marco was so weird. ✨Graphic: Mental illness, Sexual assault, Alcohol, Toxic relationship, Addiction, Alcoholism, Cursing, Panic attacks/disorders, and Suicidal thoughts
