[BookyMonster · Rating 3 out of 5]

The play is funny and contains great comedic monologues if you're looking for one. The character of Lola can be irritating but I suppose that's the point and she is still quite entertaining. I do not think she is an accurate representation of Gen Z girls but I could imagine someone like her existing even if I have not met them. My main gripe is that the premise of a teen girl trying to find the meaning of life and also lose her virginity is hackneyed and cringey. The play does not do anything very original or say anything profound but it does provide light entertainment.
