    “ A look inside the coming of age as summer ends and life choices come to the surface as we wonder what is next for us. Well done. ”

    “ A lovely, funny, sad coming-of-age story that reads as fast as a summer rushing by too quickly. If you can still remember grown-ups who thought they knew what you should do with your life, you will love this play. ”
