Had no idea what to expect going into this. Really enjoyed the mix of chatacters their inner conflict, personal journeys amid a harsh world were so great to follow. Moments of frustrations with each character and seeing them come out tje other side. There are alot of teenage hormones, but I found the chatacters and plot compelling I could brush past the excess. But all the complicated relationships I enjoyed and found the characters realistic, relatable and empathetic, despite the brutality around them.
