It's a well written play and you'll enjoy reading it if you're into:
- toxic relationships
- pretentious white men who are well-educated but possess the emotional intelligence of a rock
- complaining all the time about not reaching one's potential and guilt-tripping everyone else for not behaving like a pretentious twat
- viciousness and so, so much anger

I really wished the roles were reversed and waited for Alison to turn into a destructive bear and yeet Jimmy the scared, silly squirrel out the window after the first act.
