I really liked Bax and Jules. And Aileen. and Javi. The backdrop may not be the most relatable to most teens (an expensive prep school), but the content, and the characters relationships with one another scream teenagers. They form deep relationships quickly. They make rash decisions. They're easily influenced by their peers. Definitely doesn't make me miss being a teenager. Ha.

I love that they're taking on the idea of consent and keeping quiet. Too many times teens are afraid to share some serious stuff, and unfortunately adults are too quick sometimes to gloss over things attributing it to teen angst or drama when in fact it's really serious.
