About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an emotional, socially grounded coming-of-age romance about first love under pressure; Not for you if you prefer light, low-stakes teen stories like Never Have I Ever or Love, Victor.
Pros: tender coming-of-age romance; strong emotional pull; thoughtful social backdrop | Cons: heavy themes throughout; slow-burn pacing; limited light moments
