It took me a long while to come up with this review, mainly because I still don't know what I think about it 😅 I enjoyed it but also at the same time when I felt like I knew what was going to happen, that it was too obvious. It also could be that it reminded me of the movie <i>Metropolitan(1989)</i>

I loved the idea and the setting had a huge potential but I feel like something was missing.
I did like the way they spoke by using known lines.
And the ending, the ending ending (yes you know what I mean) I loved!!
I was so happy that when Oliver finally realised that James had only faked his suicide and they'd finally be together. I ugly cried😭
