oh lordy, I don't know what to rate this, so we're going with the golden middle. This is messy queers in their thirties and that I love. It's exploring individual friendships, group settings and growing pains and that I love. What I am however not the biggest fan of is the time setting, which is so vague that it feels rushed in the end, which for me doesn't vibe with the pretty fundamental changes and decisions happening. This also ties in with some conflicts feeling not fleshed out enough. I think it's important that there is a friendship break-up in this, because that's life, but I not only feel sad about it happening at all, but sad about it not taking up all that much space. Most of the time I don't really like these characters - which, fine, they are flawed, they are struggling, but with one exception I don't see anyone being a good friend as in working through something that sucks or went down shit after TEN YEARS of friendship and that makes me sad. And the friend break-up also not reflecting those TEN YEARS with people you call your FOUND FAMILY is just...I dunno, folks, it wasn't all that fulfilling. CNs: drug use, alcohol, kink/fetish wear, single parenting, infidelity (doesn't happen on the page, but is frequently talked about), mention of HRT, briefest panels about hospital stays, mention of a parent being sick and dying, work place relationship, loneliness, struggles with self, with being a good friend, with ageing, with money - it truly is a struggle bus :D
