It is funny and inspiring and I love the characters. The characters are so diverse and insightful. There’s love and strength in their togetherness. It’s a lovely story that reflects a lot of problems in society.

While there is some talk of discrimination, child abuse, and trauma, it isn’t talked about at great lengths.
