I loved the complexity of both of these main characters and how, in each of their own ways, they knew exactly how to be there for the other even when it was something indicated. Yes, it is a love story but it is also so much more than that. It is platonic love. It is love within your family, against all odds. It is the love of the people you grew up alongside. It is everything.
