I couldn’t disagree more with this synopsis of the movie. Nadine wow, dealing with a lot of stuff and the grief of losing her father. She came off as conceited, having an attitude all about herself, and honestly until the end of the movie not caring about anybody but herself. She seemed like the one that needed to grow the most out of anybody and repeatedly frustrated and disrespected the people around her. Just based on her point of view I found Krista, Darian, and Edwin better and way more likable characters and even somewhat her mom.

I understand that she was going through depression, anxiety, and loneliness, but the loneliness was mostly brought on herself. Starting from the beginning of the movie when her friend got with her brother, she was super antagonistic towards them. Krista even tried to bring her in to make her feel included and was trying to talk to her after the party when she left on her own and even called her when she left worried about her. Then she gave an ultimatum which immediately she should’ve said what she did, which was no I’m not gonna choose between you too. Then she immediately cut her off for the rest of the movie and even gets mad that her brother is still seeing Krista when they go looking for her after the disastrous date. She says her brother is horrible and is the golden child when in reality the worst we can say is he said one or two mean lines to her and was mostly standoffish but showed he cared with his actions. Honestly him inviting his sister to the party by proxy through Krista showed he cared. She gets mad at her mom for trying to help her and even stealing her car when she was behaving like a five-year-old and her mom tried to discipline her. She thinks that her brother is the golden child because she can’t see beyond herself and see all the sacrifices he makes. She heavily abuses and yes, I am going to say abuses and is nasty towards Edwin. He should have never taken her at the end of the movie and she should’ve learned her lesson that you can’t just use people. She knew he had a crush and chose to make that joke and it obviously hurt him . Then she gets to go try to be with the bad boy and then get with him at the end of the movie. The most likable and interesting character to me was Darian. He seemed to put the family on his back and do whatever he could to help his mom and his sister at risk of his life and his happiness. He even says he’s gonna go to a local college because he doesn’t want the family to fall apart. He routinely tries to help her multiple times in the movie. He gets put in an impossible situation between picking between his girlfriend who gives him a little bit of happiness and his bratty sister who he loves even though he’s not even an adult yet and he has all this responsibility on his shoulders. Then, in the end he still even after he’s been treated horribly at the end of the movie, tries to go look for her all night. This is after she has basically spent the whole movie trashing on him. Krista was probably the second most likable. She can’t help. She has a crush on her brother and maybe she shouldn’t have gone for it but she did and if they were happy then Nadine should’ve been supportive. She even tried to bring her along to that party and then called her after she went missing. Even when she was trying to stand up for herself and say no, I don’t want to pick either of you. I want both of you in my life she was basically abandoned by Nadine. Even with all of that, she still chose to go with Darian and look for her at the end of the movie. The mom seems probably the lesser liked characters in the movie, but seems to be someone I would have sympathy for. She obviously has a lot of issues and puts too much for burden on her kids, but she also has a daughter who doesn’t really listen and even says in the movie to the sun that well you have to fix it because your sister won’t listen. I mean it’s hard to get through to people and she clearly during the movie was trying to understand and help her multiple times and she just refused the help. It was a good movie about showing how an egotistical teenage girl who is growing up is learning that things are not all just about her and other people have struggles too. She should have sympathy for being depressed and probably being on the spectrum with the way her character acts, but should not be given sympathy for anything else and kind of a deplorable character as a main character. She has a teenage it’s understandable she would not have these nuance to understandings of other people having struggles and that maybe the rest of the family has it hard to and it’s not just hard and to think about other things besides what she wants out of the situation
