Alison: [narrating] My best friend Lily thought she was drowning. Drowning in the Salton Sea. Even though the water was too polluted to set foot in, and left anything in their town either dying, or dead.
Margaret Hobart: Lily? Are you okay? Hello...
Alison: Lily was determined to never let it get her.

If you love Juno Temple, this is a GREAT Juno movie. She is such a beautiful girl, so fun to watch. The movie is edgy and unsettling, and the end struck too close to home for me. I KNEW two girls like this, so the reality is there and a bit heartbreaking. It's a good movie, but won't leave you so much with a 'feel good' sense in the end.... I say SEE IT.
