It was a pleasure to spend time with Lark and Callum and follow their love story. The pacing felt reasonable and the relationship felt earned. There was quite a bit of yearning and angst, but it lent itself well to the story beats.
My only real complaint was Lark's workplace issues in the third act. Lark started off so much stronger than the story allowed her to be in that moment. I understood that it was a combination of grief and avoidance leading to her sort of bystander and passive reactions, but it didn't make it any less frustrating. I may have yelled at her to speak up a few times.
But overall, the story is lovely and really has me wanting to go back to Ireland.
