Snooze compared to the book

I just finished this and loved it. It would be a good watch with a teen, brings up lots of good issues, and the leads do not always make the best choices, though they are not bad kids. They are also awkward teens, which you don’t always see but is good to see.

For a lot of these the book may be age appropriate for younger age range than the show as shows seem to add more profanity and visual sexual content to grab other viewers.
I would say it shows more than summer I turned pretty.

I love everything Mara Brock Akil does, including this series.

I think it's perfect for middle school age and up, but I realize every family is different and some people may not be comfortable discussing these type of issues with their kids at that age. Common Sense Media says 14 and up.Anonymous wrote:what age is this appropriate for? I remember reading the book in HS - it is about losing your virginity?

It didn't come up on mine and I'm a bit surprised
Thanks for reminding me it's on, OP!

I’m watching it by myself first and then will see. It is about sex for sure. First episode could start some good conversations about sharing images, videos etc and bullying that results.
It’s definitely mature but it probably is realistic to high school first love for gen z and hits some important topics in a responsible way.

I binged it the day it came out. It was so good, and the cast was great. I've also watched some interviews on YouTube with the two leads; they are adorable and have great chemistry. I thought the ending was perfect, and it's already been renewed for season 2, so I'm excited about that.

Is anyone else watching? I just finished the first episode and love it so far. Regina King directed the first episode, and the two leads are great. I never read the book but I have enjoyed Judy Blume’s other books.
