Normally when media is touted as a “this meets that” I am highly sceptical because it rarely lives up to it. But this is legit Gossip Girl meets Get Out and it’s great. And by great I mean it’s rage inducing and heartbreaking, a bit of a thriller, but also heartwarming because despite the shitstorm that is the story, there is some love and joy for the main characters.
Graphic: Bullying and Racism
Moderate: Emotional abuse, Homophobia, Outing, and Gaslighting
