For anyone who grew up in the English education system it's almost painfully familiar, evoking the mind-bending highs and desperately crushing lows of an average day in the life of a 12 years old - a time when the slightest inconvenience such as an embarrassing dad can mean the *literal end of your life*, or where sharing a plate of chips with your crush can make you feel invincible.
Kids of a certain age will enjoy the silliness and hopefully learn that embarrassment isn't a terminal disease, whilst grownups will smile as they recognise a very nascent version of themselves.
