The Love Report by BéKa
2.5
lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Not going to lie it had me in the first half with all the bimbo talk and the eye-roll-worthy “not all blondes are stupid. I like books, kay.” I had to remind myself the target audience is younger kids.

But the latter half had a good message without being preachy. For example, many times people are only in love with the idea of a person, love isn’t always enough and relationships end, and people that love you don’t throw you away.

I think this captured middle school drama well and Grace’s feelings about her parents. The artwork was also super cute.
I enjoyed Adele as an addition to the team. She needed some genuine female friends.
