I would definitely read another Baker play. This one just left me needing a bit more than if offered. With that being said these characters felt concise and the right amount of unreliable!

first play! still getting used to the shorter and more matter-of-fact writing but this was wonderful. the growing friendship of three misfits with constant mentioning of bukowski, which makes me happy. dialogue was great, it established dynamics and characters very well. i also thought the musical aspect was interesting. i wish this was a longer book because i’d read it. regardless, very very good.

Minor key. Second act a little too quick moving compared to well established first one.
