Revolving around girls, friends, and classes, Noah's life is fairly ordinary, except for one thing: his older sister, Emma, has an eating disorder. When she's hospitalized, Noah has a hard time coping. Though Emma's character doesn't have much dimension beyond her illness, Noah's conflicting emotions are believably nuanced, and Knowles's portrayal of middle-school dynamics is funny and relatable.
