It actually fits very well 8)

I'm really pulling for romance, just because of being a hopeless romantic. Fingers crossed!

Honestly, I would rate it as a 1, maybe a 2 because I was able to finish it. For me, it was disconnected, and I went into it expecting something different, so that probably didn't help the situation.
