The pie was good, but the meringue was a little too soft. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

This pie is a must-try for any strawberry lover! The meringue is light and fluffy, and the strawberries are perfectly sweet and tart. I will definitely be making this pie again.

The pie was a little too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used sour strawberries. I'll try using sweeter strawberries next time.

I'm not a big fan of meringue, but this pie was still really good. The strawberries were perfectly ripe and the crust was flaky and buttery.

The pie was good, but not great. The crust was a little too thick and the strawberries were a little tart. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
