I love to see a woman say screw this guy and then go and have a wild time - and that is exactly what Katherine does! She takes control of her life and goes out to have fun. And she totally does! Unfortunately along the way she also finds her almost fiancé and some pesky feelings… Preston is also great! So intense - and also needs a hug! His bafflement at his “O am not jealous behavior” is hilarious and heartwarming. (He is genuinely confounded by this!) He is going through his own grief and processing what success really means for him. And it is all amazing to watch. He also grovels and cooks and has some great grand gestures that are always a good time.
But what really sold me on this read was their genuine chemistry and friendship. Preston has to learn to listen and Katherine has to learn not to defend her worth - and together they have to learn that vulnerability and true intimacy go together.
