About
You may like this if you enjoy quiet, offbeat romance about lonely people and everyday life, somewhere between Las Acacias and Sidewalls; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a more straightforward love story.
Pros: touching understated romance; relatable shy lead; calm everyday atmosphere | Cons: very slow pace; voyeuristic premise; minimal dialogue
