It starts off with Nat deciding whether or not she should lose her virginity to her boyfriend before she moves. Although she decides to do it, there are definite emotional consequences she has to work through because of it. I always at least appreciate seeing natural and logical consequences for choices.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel preachy about it even considering the mom. There were a few mature parts though, and that's what I would worry about more.
