Ani Fanelli: [narrating] It's 2015, and people still act like marriage is some kind of crowing achievement for women. That is a trap that I did not fall into. I dove in head first...

Featured review
I have to say, I had my fair share of the doubt during the first 30 minutes or so, because it started off as a typical rom com with a quirky protagonist.
But I'm glad I gave it a chance, because once it picks up, it's done masterfully. I was afraid at some point it would slide to "who done it" kind of a thriller, but fortunately that never happened.
That is not to say there isn't mystery. It's just properly balanced, so it never feels over the top. Characters are believable and much more nuanced than you typically get in this type of dramas.
We all heard a stories like this, but they are rarely explored respectfully and without going over the top. However, this movie manages to do it.
I'm glad the writers didn't go for twists and turns, but stayed true to the message they wanted to deliver. And it is a message we all need to hear.
