About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quietly funny, bittersweet look at money pressure and adulthood, with small, revealing encounters along the way; Not for you if you need fast plot turns or a feel-good tone like Be with You.

Pros: dry, quiet humor; relatable money stress; sharp social satire | Cons: bleak mood; meandering couch-surf structure; low-key pacing
