A review by emvdw
In a New York Minute by Felice Stevens
fast-paced
2.0
Excellent premise, middling execution.
Very superficial and shallow. Also verrrry repetitive, it feels like every conversation needs to happen three times. The protagonists don't really have distinct personality except one is Grieving a Good husband who Died and the other is Grieving a Bad husband who Left.
Advertised as slow burn, but they immediately fall in love and the "burn" is tepid as best.
Both main characters are Jewish, but the Jewish culture representation feels very charicatural. This may be due to the whole thing lacking any depth whatsoever.
Ideal if you need something uncomplicated to turn your brain off, provided you have a high tolerance for corny and borderline cringy dialogue.
