between some of the cringiest sentences i've ever read, oliver speaking like he was ai generated, luc being sincerely insufferable in the first half and the worst 3rd-act breakup of all time—this was surprisingly enjoyable lol

also it was pretty fucking funny i won't lie (though i will say, it's a very british-sitcom-y type of humour that probably isn't everyone's cup of tea). still deeply unsure why, but the sentence "with his guitar cradled on his knee like it was a dying lamb" made me laugh so hard i cried and i still can't think about it without cracking up
