About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, nostalgic teen romance that mixes friendship, humor, and big feelings, similar to Our Beloved Summer or My First First Love; Not for you if you dislike sentimental, tearjerker-leaning stories.
Pros: sweet first-love vibe; strong friendship focus; nostalgic late-90s feel | Cons: uneven script; confusing who’s who; some scenes feel childish
