I adored this series that focused on life, family, camaraderie and first love.

This group of friends is so giving and selfless, their trials and tribulations of family and school life, intersecting with their personal lives give us all life lessons.

I love how each poignant scene is followed by a teaching moment narrated by one of the leads. This series keeps it real, there is headache and personal loss in life, even for those as young as teens. It doesn’t sugarcoat anything. With that in mind, keep an open mind about the end.
