Plot
Aaron, a college student with a passion for art, is majoring in engineering because his Mom insists. He falls in love with Linda, a classmate, a much older woman with a teenage daughter and a boyfriend, who she is not very interested in. While Linda is more interested in a friendship than a relationship, Beth, the 14 year old daughter, develops feelings for Aaron and confesses her unrequited love. Darcy, a woman who lives down the hall, also has some interest in Aaron, but that friendship is equally rocky.

Reception

Kimberley Jones, in her review for the Austin Chronicle said that "Despite some tonal inconsistencies and ill-fitting stabs at whimsy, all-around good performances, Fine's snappy script, and Michael Hoskins' original illustrations elevate Cherry into a sensitively felt and fundamentally sweet coming-of-age pic."
