The story is generally perceived as average, with some reviewers noting its predictability and lack of impactful plot developments.

“Dramatic moments, once they occur, have a lot of build-up and momentum and do not feel forced or shoehorned into the story.”
“The story while a bit predictable is well thought out, varied, and well delivered.”
“However, her main issues just seem to get partially addressed in her story and then dropped.”
“There was also the hinted at aspect that was never expanded upon that being seen with a boyfriend could be negative, and I thought that was going to get expanded on as a story point, but it was also just suddenly dropped.”
“Honestly, the plot is slightly lackluster.”
