I do like a friends to lovers story, however, I felt like this offered up very little of the friends part of the equation. I get that an attraction between longtime friends would lead to some awkard tension, that was believable, still, I was disappointed there were more moments like that, and more moments of chilliness and criticism between them rather than examples of genuine warm friendship. I wanted to experience that friendship baseline a bit more, I wanted to understand what they stood to lose if it didn’t work out, instead, it mostly seemed like I was being told they’re best friends, told that being a part of her family is meaningful to him, yet shown little evidence of either. Plus, there were instances, like when she asks him if he has relatives and when he didn’t know about her side gig, where I just thought are these two even friends, let alone best friends? Wouldn’t those be some pretty basic things to already have discussed if you’ve been close friends for most of your lives?
While I didn’t buy into the romance or the friendship as thoroughly as I would have liked, there were aspects of this that did draw me in, I liked the little bit involving Flora’s side gig, the short solo journey Alex goes on had me more interested in him than at any other point in the story, and I enjoyed the brief time we see Flora with her parents, if those three things, especially the interractions with family had played a larger role, like if maybe this had skipped Austria altogether and focused on going home for the holidays, this story probably would have been a better fit for me.… (mer)
