About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like character-driven relationship stories and self-discovery, with a modern, restless energy; Not for you if you want a clearly resolved, purely uplifting romance, or if you dislike Gen Y takes like Hope or Hacks.

Pros: relatable modern choices; strong natural acting; inventive chapter structure | Cons: ending feels melodramatic; tough questions about relationships
