About
You may enjoy this if you like offbeat, heartfelt romance with gentle humor and a touch of whimsy, somewhat in the vein of Words and Pictures; Not for you if quirky characters or a low-key pace frustrate you.
Pros: easy chemistry; sweet quirky tone; heartfelt character journey | Cons: uneven female lead; occasional unnecessary narration; one sexual moment
