I had a mostly good time. It’s very much a ya, which is to be expected, and the author is very much a millennial, but i also thought that the way they addressed and changed the source material was really good. Like it’s so hard to look at the ending of Grease and not just feel like Sandy changed her entire personality for a guy and that’s how they have a happy ending. And I think instead this looked at what that might symbolise in the relationship and made it really good and really sweet. 
Also though like can Oliver’s parents give him a little emotional support like for the love of god this kid is so well behaved and going through so much shit and all he does is help and help and help without his parents really ever recognizing that? Idk the parenting on their end did not fuck
