Cruel Summer

The warm, carefree vibe made their decisions feel more spontaneous, but I wonder if it also masked deeper issues. How much do you think the season influences their actions?

The balance between romantic tension and friendship felt really authentic, but I’m curious whether that was a deliberate choice to reflect real teenage summers.

The story seemed to take its time developing relationships, which was nice, but did others find it a bit slow before the climax? Was that intentional to build emotional depth?
