This started as a series of novels by Jenny Han, about a teen (Lola Tung) who spends her summers with her mom at the luxurious beach home of her best friends. This includes the brothers (Christopher Briney & Gavin Casalegno) and her constantly changing decision of which one she’ll end up with. This forms the crux of the series, although there are supporting characters with their own issues. The actors are all do a great job dealing with the constant emotional encounters, copious tears and regular declarations of love. Appealing to its supposedly YA audience, the soundtrack continually cranks out the emo hits. Thru all the back and forth, the appeal of the characters and the actors creating them makes the show a roller coaster of a love triangle that will likely draw you in. NOTE: Sit thru the credits of the final ep to see a sweet letter from author/creator Han.
