I'm going to be honest. At first, I didn't like it because Lifetime is known to be the epitome of "Men are terrible and will hurt you because this is Lifetime." I gave it a serious analytical watch a second time and found to really enjoy the lessons that could be learned from it. Heartbreak can wreck you, but with blood, sweat and sacrifice, pushing through the pain, you can come out much stronger and reach your goals.
I enjoyed the villain's reveal very much; the mirror scene in their room. It speaks to me on so many levels, and I am sure to many others; body-image issues, fighting against your own demons, etc. Having come so far, and yet the villain still sees themselves as their former, weaker selves. I found it sad and connected with them and their anger because of the realism there. Still, it felt a bit rushed and I think the movie could have been a bit better had it been explored more. Otherwise, I think this was pretty good and entertaining and there are some golden nuggets of wisdom thrown in here and there.
