Almost, Maine by John Cariani
3.0

This was a book I added to my tbr way back when, which I primarily read for the nostalgia factor of putting this play on in high school.

It did manage to tick all of those boxes, but the writing itself was very drawn out (a quirkiness which works on stage, but not so much on paper), and it just seemed to go on an on.

The characters were still cute, but I think they and the story would have benefited from another round or two of edits!
