Diana Son

Well, this was readable. Diana Son's a screenwriter, and it shows--it kind of felt like Reality Bites but heavier. However, this is dated, now almost 20 years later. I found the lesbian plotline quite thin and entirely too cliche two girls are dissatisfied with their boyfriends so obviously they're attracted to each other // they get brutally beaten when they finally get to have their first kiss. And the whole St. Louis thing was poorly researched and/or given to Son by a deeeeeeeep suburbanite. I didn't even recognize the STL they harped on, even a 1998 STL (and I lived in the 'burbs then!). Still, I'm glad I read it, especially seeing as I am woefully behind on contemporary drama; I just hope there's been better LGBTQ plays written.

Now I'm going to watch Reality Bites like it's 1998.
