Initially I struggled to get use to the new character Ani and wondered why she was acting like everyone's best friend. But it came full circle for me & I believe they still covered some real issues about speaking out and sticking together as friends. As teenagers there's nothing more than having friends to open up too when going through real issues & this show shows how things work out better if you just use each other. Keeping secrets helps no one. Yes the ending wasn't what I expected but I can understand why they did what they did. All in all it was a great watch, they still stayed true to the characters while showing real life serious issues.
