About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quirky, gentle romance about urban loneliness and near-misses with a thoughtful mood; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big laughs, or constant sparks like Mozart and the Whale or Adam.
Pros: creative, funny romance; relatable loneliness themes; charming city atmosphere | Cons: slow pace; repetitive stretches; low on passion
