This was funny, sad, heartbreaking and emotional, but entertaining all the way. Pixie and Levi's antagonism towards each other made me think it stemmed from an act of hurtful wrongdoing against the other because there was clearly a deep history and purposely ignored chemistry. They were two broken souls after a tragic incident that they both felt accountable for and picking up the pieces afterwards even a year later was proving to be quite difficult. Normalcy didn't seem to be in the cards. Pixie can't have open and honest relationships and Levi is closed off from everyone and drowning each day. The white elephant in the room cannot be discussed while they both constantly explore ways to escape the pain and forget the obvious. Despite the significance they feel for the other, they spend a lot of time ignoring each other and trading sharp-edged comments. The path to true healing and moving forward lies within them reconnecting and confronting the past, but that proves to be beyond excruciatingly painful. The worst part is the guilt and regret, but under forced circumstances of close proximity, they can't avoid each other forever. I liked Pixie and Levi, they both had really big hearts with the best of intentions. Levi unfortunately channeled his escape in the form of isolation or rudeness. However, there was no doubt that Pixie was important to him, even if he tried not to show it. Pixie tried to pretend nothing had changed from the incident, although her mind was always wandering and she felt abandoned. It sucked that they wouldn't communicate but it wasn't written like they were being overly immature, they just didn't have a healthy way of releasing or coping and it showed how much a terrible loss affects everyone around them.
