Big fat meh. Irish millennial graduates into a recession with an English degree and begins her adult life by dating emotionally unavailable men and dumping too many feelings on her gay best friend. Substitute "Irish" for "American" and "English" for "theatre" (equally useless degrees so is it REALLY a substitution?) and I'm this protagonist. Graduated college the same year, even. Some mildly interesting plot points happen but nothing groundbreaking, some characters threaten to be interesting but never quite manage it, and everything ends tidily. Snore. 2.5 taters 🥔🥔🍠/🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
