Review:
Oh man, this was just not for me, sadly.

I didn't really go into this with that many expectations, but I found myself a little disappointed with how surface level this whole thing felt and it felt like it glazed over a lot of things. It's surprisingly tedious as well, and there are few moments that feel truly real and emotional. The stories in here are disjointed and the whole thing feels like it could use some more structure.

I also didn't get on with the writing style at all. It feels almost childish and I actually got kind of annoyed with it, like how in some parts every other sentence ends with an exclamation mark. It could've used some work, I think.

I do think the main reason I didn't like this though, is that I felt like I'm just living on a completely different planet than this person. It got a little too la-di-da for me. It's very Hollywood.
