Warning: Spoilers
The chemistry between Sasha and Anne is undeniable. They perfectly emulate the whole "my first time with a girl was in high school" kind of vibe. Nothing short of sweet. But then things get complicated and suddenly not everything is sunshine and rainbows especially when Sasha denies even having feelings for Anne.

And to top it off, you've got Anne's best guy friend, Clifton, who turns out to be an unreliable friend and goes so far as to-well...

There were a couple of things I didn't understand in the movie though. There were times when it would jump back and forth between flashbacks and you never really knew what really went down in certain scenes because they wouldn't reveal it until way later in the movie. Not sure what purpose that has flashing back and forth like that. Just made it more confusing.

The other thing was that the woman who works at the Out of the Closet thrift store; throughout the movie, she kept appearing in different scenes and she'd be there watching Anne. It made her seem like she was supposed to be a love interest or some sort of guardian angel for Anne. But at the very end of the movie, we finally see her interacting with Anne but... not in a very significant way. I don't understand why the movie placed so much emphasis on that woman by having her be in three different scenes watching Anne but it wasn't needed.

Another thing that kinda lost me was the thing about Sasha and Anne kissing and that photo appearing in their yearbook. When Anne grabbed the flashdrive from Clifton and she inserted an image, we don't know what the image is but we can assume it's of them kissing. However when they all arrive at the conference, it's said that Clifton was the one who put the photo in the yearbook. Did he really do it? It was unclear and that was really bothersome.

I appreciated the twists to the movie but it felt incomplete at the end and probably for a good reason: that's just how things are irl unfortunately. Sometimes things just don't go accordingly to plan and you get your heart broken.

Gotta give it to everyone in the cast. They were very convincing. I enjoyed just how realistic the plot was and each consequence that followed.
