ReviewsThis was a soft pleasantly slow romcom. The relationship development is mostly done in montages or scenes set to music, which lessened my investment in them as a couple, but the setting and the friend group was well done and fun to watch. Mostly just felt a bit underdeveloped, like an extended plot point from Love Actually.
