    Sooo good
    This show was really good. Though I will say when Noah Centineo replaced Jake T Austin, I was a little baffled but I think it ended up working. This handled some really important topics and I think they portrayed the difficulty of foster care really well. On a side note, the best episode by far is the R and J one. I did not expect to still be listening to those songs now. They are so good.
