I knew a boy named Thayer Mangeress. I had the good fortune of being close to him.
This movie was absolutely amazing. Beautiful in every way.
In the beginning, she said, "I knew a boy named Thayer Mangeres. I had the misfortune of being close to him... alphabetically."
In the end, she says, "I knew a boy named Thayer Mangeres. I had the good fortune of being close to him... alphabetically."
Which means that she knew him and was close to him with letters because of the notes that they wrote to each other. They never really spoke much. They were both in love with each other, but Amber didn't want to let herself admit it, so she ignored him until he "killed" himself, which is when she figured out that she should have stayed with him. So she names her kid after him because she finally lets herself admit that she loved him when it was too late.

I adored the story. What it says about social status and adolescence, love, and the effects of abuse. How there are no easy fixes for abuse, how it will truly Screw You Up and you can’t necessarily escape it and get what you want before the credits roll. How love isn’t pure, it’s messy and hard and sometimes doesn't or can’t work.
