If the lead Tessa had not been played by Joey King, I'm not sure I would've watched it. I've been a big fan of hers since Ramona and Beezus in 2010. She makes a lot of teen angst/romance movies, and I've appreciated the ones I've seen because of her. In this one, the only other actor I knew was Fear the Walking Dead's Kim Dickens as Tessa's adoptive mother. The plot had some pieces I thought were effective, even if it's not high art.

The good things:
** The chemistry between Joey King and co-star Kyle Allen was effective while portraying both the love story, both good and bad.
** I've got to put Joey King again in here. The camera loves her.
** The resolution of the love story was excellent, and the ending of the movie was appropriate.

The bummers:
-- Tessa's problems were related to her abandonment by her parents, but the movie didn't indicate why it created such disarray for her. Her past affected her ability to love and trust herself, so I would've liked to know more.
-- The seance sequences could've been cut short, although it does show the support of her friend.
-- The hotel scene toward the end was a little hard to believe.
