Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader This Chicago-set love story breaks new ground with the protagonist's self-knowledge and directness. Oct 13, 2016 Full Review Pamela Powell Reel Honest Reviews Drinkall and Thornton are extraordinary in these very complicated and deeply layered roles. Their genuine performances bring authenticity to not only their characters, but to the story itself. Rated: 4/5 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Courtney Howard Fresh Fiction Brave, honest and heartfelt, this is a fairly solid debut from the first-time filmmakers. Rated: 4/5 Nov 5, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I saw this film at the 2016 LA Film Festival, and can't wait to see it again at the 2016 Chicago Film Festival! The acting was excellent and the script was engaging. The film will make you laugh, gasp, cry and even cheer out loud (the audience in LA started clapping at one point when the protagonist successfully stood up for herself!) This is more than a simple "coming of age" story - it addresses a myriad of issues facing young adults today. Excellent film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
