About
You’ll likely enjoy Alex Strangelove if you want a sweet, funny teen romance and lighthearted self-discovery; Not for you if you want a darker, more complex LGBTQ coming-of-age story like The Half of It or if you prefer strict realism over feel-good rom-com vibes.
Pros: sweet teen coming-of-age; funny self-discovery; uplifting atmosphere | Cons: some rushed moments; not for everyone; characters may feel uneven
