About
You might like this if you enjoy character-driven French romances with an unusual setting, like Not My Type or Anaïs in Love; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a work-focused ship drama.
Pros: unusual freighter setting; strong central performance; vivid romantic atmosphere | Cons: uneven work-romance balance; graphic sex scenes; pacing may wander
