MY THOUGHTS⇢
On the outside, this feels like a vapid high school drama, with a dose of forced drug dealing. You might even pass it up because of this. But, you should give it a chance because it might just surprise you. For the first half it felt just like all that to me...what with her incredibly lax parents and her shitty so-called friends...but it does eventually go somewhere.
With a little mystery, and the tackling of some tuff issues, including slut-shaming, date rape & rape culture, and by the end, even her parental units step it up a bit. Ultimately, it had a fairly good overall message and it surprised me how much I ended up liking it.
Narration by Julia Knippen was effortlessly executed, and this would make an excellent movie, too. It actually reminded me of the movie Easy A.
