I agree!
But what kind of major life regrets do you have as a teenager?
Many! they may not seem major to an adult, and may not have had as long-lasting consequences, but to a teen they feel very significant...and in many cases are. I almost think teens are more vulnerable to big regrets because they don't have the perspective to know how life can change or how what seems like a mistake can lead to something positive.
Yes, I agree with the contrivance viewpoint. For effect, but I felt no actual human depth. I just felt so disappointed in this work. It could have been profound, instead ...but no. Just theatricalized. All splash, and no swimming.
