Warning: Spoilers
High school sweethearts April (Hannah Marks) and Nick (Dylan Sprouse) start fighting and split up. It's the summer before she moves on to college. She's horrified when Nick starts dating someone else. She is further shocked to like his new girlfriend Clara (Liana Liberato). The two girls begin a friendship without telling Nick.

This is a love story. It's a love story between the two girls. That's probably why Nick seems more of a side character. Quite frankly, Ben is even more expendable. He's fine as a comedic sidekick to advance the plot but he's not worthwhile to do a love triangle. I would like for Clara to expand her character. She does the numbers move which is a fun bit from years of rom-com. She could do something with her family. I like April's family. This is written by lead actress Hannah Marks and Joey Power. It seems like they wanted to concentrate on the female relationship. It would be great if they committed more fully in that endeavor. I want something deeper and these young actresses could have delivered it.
