About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like coming-of-age stories with a light medical angle, gentle humor, and wholesome lessons, especially if you enjoy shows like The Facts of Life; Not for you if you need gritty realism or sharper edge.
Pros: charming premise; warm life lessons; humor and heart | Cons: hard to believe; can feel cliché; novelty fades later
