    I really enjoyed this small little story. As someone who relates to Shaun, trying to find those words when faced with a dilemma can be difficult, but as long as we have the people we care about in our lives it slowly gets easier.

    This was a really cute story about gender identity and finding yourself. I think anyone that is looking for a short but emotional story should read this play.

    Beautiful. An excellent example of that struggle to maintain relationships while exploring and expressing gender identity during the penultimate period of being a teenager. We are given such a rich history of these characters within these 10 pages and a feeling of uncertainty as to where the two characters will go from here, leaving the audience to question the state of their own relationships. Fantastic work, highly recommend it to anyone developing their playwriting skillset.
