Riley has been in rehab for eating and several psych disorders. So when she meets ethan, who has issues of his own, they hit it off right away. Riley tells us she knows she's not supposed to have relationships for the first year, but she's already broken that rule. And she's skipping her therapist appointments. Riley seems to be snacking a lot, so she seems to still have the eating and self worth issues. And now that it's been a year, she can date, so she starts up with a co-worker. And ends up kicking ethan to the curb. After a disastrous thanksgiving dinner, can riley make things right with her family, her friends? Even herself? It's good but predictable. One complaint.. a lot of the film is filmed with light so low we can't see what's going on. Directed by brittany snow. One of the two films she has directed.

Riley is complicated, she has a lot going ln her personal life and so comes a guy along that looks like could help her and shows he only wants to help her, however because of her problems she is unable to take him seriously when he was trying to be there for her.

She learns how to continue and develop past her personal issues but ultimately his friend is a stepping stone for her, should they be together? Who knows? Life works in mysterious ways and maybe who we think will be there for us isn't always there in the ways you need them.

Overall someone coming out of rehab needs a lot of support and for someone like Riley, his friend might just be that.

This movie is very conflicting to what we all wish love to be, but regardless reminds of life is a path we are all traveling on, and we all take such path alone, some people are just part of the journey where we all hope to be at someday.

The movie should come with trigger warnings for body dysmorphia and eating disorders. Although Brittany Snow does a wonderful job of representing them, the theme might be too much to deal with for some people.

Okay, now that put aside, the performances in the movie were so beautiful. This kind of theme was elegantly depicted and to think that it was a directional debut certainly shows so much promise. Despite the erratic pacing and passage of time generally thrown at the audience through exposition, after a momentary whiplash, the scene brings you right back into it. I really loved character development of Riley and Nathan and even the minor characters for that matter. The movie did a wonderful job of showing both, what people suffering from mental illness go through and what people who care for them go through. Kudos.
