About
You’ll probably like it if you enjoy heartfelt, funny coming-of-age stories about finding belonging and figuring out faith, friendships, and growing up; Not for you if you want sharper originality or a fully satisfying wrap-up, and if you prefer darker, more intense teens like Shiva Baby or The Way Way Back.
Pros: heartfelt coming-of-age; strong lead performance; relatable puberty moments | Cons: some conflicts unresolved; theme balance varies; pacing feels rushed
