About
You may like this if you want a reflective, dystopian love story that’s more about human connection than action, with a heavy, lingering mood similar to Seeking a Friend for the End of the World; Not for you if you want fast-paced thrills or clear answers.
Pros: haunting mood and music; thought-provoking premise; emotional, intimate romance | Cons: slow, bleak tone; thin outbreak details; confusing plot holes
