About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt, funny boarding-school story about fitting in, friendship, and being yourself, with music and sports in the mix; Not for you if you want a romance-forward vibe like Alex Strangelove or Sex Education.
Pros: warm coming-of-age charm; funny, witty dialogue; uplifting message | Cons: familiar school-story beats; thin bully character; friendship could deepen
