Alice Sadie Celine is so funny, sexy, and full of nuance.  Just read the explosive premise—it’ll reel you right in.  With three fantastic central characters, so crisply distinct from each other, it’s sort of like Gilmore Girls gone wrong, but in the best way.  There’s lots of love-to-hate going on, and there are also many tender, beautiful, true-to-life moments.  I really appreciated that one of the characters makes her sexual debut at a later age than is often portrayed in media.  It’s giving off pheromones for fans of my favorite Irish girlies—Sally Rooney, Naoise Dolan, Caroline O’Donoghue—but we’re in Hollywood (and Berkeley) now, baby.  Mommy issues, who?
