The scene when she was visiting her mother and only felt as a guest was the moment i knew this was not like insos law, both are great, i liked insos law better when i was in highschool but now, i can definitely relate to this more, i agree that it feels more mature and in touch with reality
This is like insos law but more mature. Insos law touches on mature themes too, but not in a tangential way. Feelings of loss and inferiority, being easily forgotten etc.
This one deals with it's themes more head first, but in a very mature and realistic way. We've all lost loved ones, and sh and bullying is sadly far too common. It's an intrinsic part of her past, and a big reason of why she is today the way she is. But it doesn't eclipse her as a character. It explains a lot of her motives, but it's not her only driving force. It just feels really realistic and I love her so much.
I see so much of myself in her I just want to hug her and tell her everything is going to be alright.
