About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like offbeat teen stories about identity, fitting in, and unlikely friendship, especially if Edge of Seventeen or Geography Club worked for you; Not for you if you want darker drama or fast-paced conflict.
Pros: warm coming-of-age tone; quirky 80s vibe; unexpected friendships | Cons: familiar school drama; uneven humor; light stakes
