About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a calm, bittersweet coming-of-age romance with lots of silence and emotion, similar to Boys or Beautiful Thing; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or lighter vibes.
Pros: tender first-love story; strong emotional pull; moody seaside setting | Cons: very slow pace; uneven scenes; characters feel distant
