See it if You want to see a show about issues.

Don't see it if You value good writing: the 11 scenes had no flow between them & felt like 11 different playwrights wrote them. You want realistic scenarios

Also While I appreciate the playwright addressing issues affecting teen girls, it's not presented in a way that feels realistic. The characters are one-dimensional & full of so many cliches that there's no emotional connection.... Read more Read less
