About
You’ll like this if you enjoy intimate, conversation-driven romance with a thoughtful, realistic feel, somewhere between Once and Waking Life; Not for you if you need big plot turns, fast pacing, or lots of action.
Pros: realistic romance; engaging conversations; charming Vienna atmosphere | Cons: very talk-heavy; minimal plot; slow pace
