Reviews:
"Fantastic. Captured youthfulness." - James Ijames, Pulitzer Prize Winning Playwright
"[Unfuck Yourself] was very, very funny. The dialogue was fantastic and felt like real people talking. The topic switching felt wild and extremely fluid in a way that made perfect sense for the setting. The escalation of the stakes kept me super engaged. The three main characters were excellent."
"Chaotic, hilarious, and fun. Amy Chen knows how to make you laugh!"
