About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a funny, sweet coming-of-age story about lifelong friendship and puberty-era awkwardness with a nostalgic vibe, similar to Mermaids; Not for you if you want a gritty, hard-edged take or a highly original plot.
Pros: warm friendship focus; relatable growing-up moments; sweet nostalgic tone | Cons: familiar coming-of-age setup; uneven adult framing; period details feel thin
