‘I Am Not Okay With This’
“Dear Diary, go f*ck yourself.” Thus begins Netflix’s hip new YA thriller, I Am Not Okay With This. Based on the graphic novel by Chuck Forsman, I Am Not Okay With This is a refreshingly quirky look at the trials of being a teen. Sydney Novak (Sophia Lillis) is an angry young woman growing up in a Rust Belt town. She’s got to contend with crush on her best friend while also dealing with the realization that she can crush things with her mind. Helping her through all this is her friend Stanley (Wyatt Oleff), a love interest-turned-confident who might be the coolest un-cool kid on TV.
