This wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. I thought I was going to get a cute little love story between two girls but what I got instead was one pining away for her ex (who kind of sucks) and using the other to make her jealous and the other girl trying to figure out her sexuality. It felt more like a friendship story.
Piper kind of annoyed me with how she was obsessed with getting Judith (her ex) back. I get that she was hung up on her but Judith didn’t seem worth the energy she was putting into her. Also I expected more horse content because Piper wants to do it professionally.
I did like Kat a lot though however. She was really sweet and I liked seeing her try to figure out her sexuality. She had a good relationship with her family so it was nice to see them interact. She did go from zero to a hundred from never having kissed a girl to almost sleeping with one the literal next day.

Literally the second Judith’s new boyfriend dumps her she immediately starts sexting Piper which felt like a trash move, I only want you when I’m not with someone else.I did like Kat a lot though however.
