About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a smart, funny romance built on friendship, time jumps, and lots of conversation; Not for you if you dislike dialogue-heavy rom-coms or frequent sex talk, like in (500) Days of Summer.

Pros: witty, quotable dialogue; strong lead chemistry; funny relationship insights | Cons: very talky at times; obvious romantic trajectory; sex talk may grate
