I didn't realize that this film was a sequel and it appears at the end there will be another sequel coming. Following the love relationship of Tess and Hardin thru this movie was challenging. I am glad the movie steered away from any horrible conclusions. I liked the movie and it seemed that Tess as 19 year old was beginning to grow up as she should. Hardin in the meantime needs to get more mature in order to handle the love he has and shows for Tess. Liked the intimacy of most of their love scenes. I hope a sequel will bring a more mature outcome for Tess and Hardin.
