Modern Friendships

Buckingham, who plays Cassie, also spiritually feels like an homage to Sarah Sanderson: she has great love for her sisters, or her best friends in this case, but it gets complicated when a guy catches her eye. Buckingham described the bond Cassie has with Becca and Izzy: “We have this love for each other and this friendship, but I mean, every teen knows what it’s like to kind of go through a rough patch with your friends. And to have your first boyfriend or girlfriend and then kind of figure it out. I think she is a very good example of misstepping and not being able to figure it out until she communicates with her best friends. And that’s just the realest thing I’ve ever heard. We’ve all been through that.”
